EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- ABC BUS Inc. is recalling certain 2023-2024 Van Hool CX35 and CX45 vehicles equipped with Hydronic L-II heaters. The burner units may release excessive exhaust gas.
- What it can cause
- Excessive exhaust gas can result in smoke poisoning or cause a vehicle fire, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to use the heaters until they have been repaired. Dealers will inspect, rework, and calibrate the heaters to avoid excessive exhaust gas values, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 27, 2024. Owners may contact ABC Bus customer service at 1-407-287-3184. ABC Bus number for this recall is 24E030.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

| Van HoolCX45 | 2023 to 2024 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 329 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Van Hool vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 2 times before this, most recently in December 2018 as 18V882000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V191000 (visibility), 23V861000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by ABC BUS Inc with NHTSA on May 13, 2024 as campaign 24V332000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
