Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

ABC BUS Inc is recalling approximately 6,994 Van Hool commercial buses across several models produced between 1999 and 2023. These vehicles may have the incorrect glaze on the lower curb view window of the front entrance door, which fails to meet federal safety standards for glazing materials. ABC Bus dealers will inspect the window and install a nontransparent vinyl cover over it free of charge to resolve the issue.

Risk

The incorrect glaze on the curb view window can reduce the driver's visibility of the surrounding area. This impairment increases the risk of a crash while operating the vehicle.

  2. Verify your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA.gov website beginning April 30, 2026, to confirm your specific vehicle is included in the recall.
  3. Contact ABC Bus customer service at 1-877-427-7278 to arrange for a free inspection and the installation of a nontransparent vinyl cover over the curb view window.
