1999 Van Hool C2045 - Structure

Van Hool buses from 1999 to 2013 (C2045 and T2145 models) may have incorrect glazing on the entry door's lower window, which does not meet Canadian safety regulations. This improper glazing could reduce visibility and increase crash risk. ABC Bus Inc. will contact affected owners by mail with instructions for installing a vinyl cover or scheduling service to fix the issue.

Reason

Issue: On certain buses, the lower window on the enter door may have the wrong glazing. Canadian regulations require certain glazing to be used on the entry door. Safety Risk: Incorrect glazing could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: ABC Bus Inc. will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to install a non-transparent vinyl cover over the window, as necessary. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the inspection and repairs performed at an authorized ABC Bus Inc. service location.
