Van Hool N.V. "Van Hool" is recalling certain model year 2004, 2006, and 2013 C2045 Coaches, equipped with Sure Power Battery Equalizers containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
Van Hool's designated agent, ABC Bus, Inc., will notify Van Hool owners, and Sure Power will replace the converters, free of charge. The recall began on August 26, 2014. Van Hool's number for this recall is P725
