It has come to the attention of Van Hool that the tie-rod arm fixation screws on the trailing axle have a limited life due to high mechanical loads. For that reason these tie rod arm screws must be changed every 250,000 miles or every year (whatever comes first). The maintenance schedule in the Van Hool maintenance manuals for these vehicles will be modified in that way.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10170876-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10170876-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10170876","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"steering","name":"Steering","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":["maintenance"],"vehicles":[{"make":"VAN HOOL","model":"VAN HOOL","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
