Bulletin Summary
Van Hool has determined that the parcel-rack lighting circuit is not well executed due to an error in the production process. On TD925 vehicles, a connection in the parcel-rack lighting circuit is inadequate. The splicing of the electrical wires has been executed by twisting the strands together and insulating them with electrical tape instead of using a connector. Also neighbouring spare wires were mistakenly put together in the same connection. This situation can result in arching and overheating when the parcel-rack lighting circuit is energized and one of the spare wire ends is grounded. Follow the step-by-step instructions mentioned under "To modify TD925 parcel-rack lighting c ircuit". The necessary parts are listed in the table on page 2. On TDX25US vehicles, a 4-pin connector with loose wires has not been removed as it should have been. This may result in arching and overheating when the parcel-rack lighting circuit is energized and one of the loose wire ends is grounded. Follow the instructions mentioned under ?To modify TDX25 parcel-rack lighting circuit?. No parts are necessary for TDX25 vehicles.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
