What NHTSA recorded

Van hool is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 c2045, 2011-2012 t2140, 2010-2011 t2145 and 2011 td925 motorcoaches, equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (esc) modules, manufactured from august 2005, through september 2011. Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (esc) system. This might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.

Possible consequence

The vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
