Official manufacturer communication context for 2008-2019 Van Hool Td925, with affected products, buyer checks and links into Carchieve recall, problem and VIN research.
Reviewed June 2026 from NHTSA manufacturer communication and service bulletin records. Carchieve is independent and not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer or government agency.
Two different types of step nose lighting units have been installed during manufacturing. The early units (which are limited available as spare part) are provided with a LED card for the downward light and an optical fiber for the upward light. These units have a small circuit board with a resistor to reduce the 24V power supply to an operating voltage of 3V for the optical fiber (refer also to figure 1). The new units have an optical fiber for both the downward and upward light, and do not have a circuit board to reduce the voltage supply. These lighting units may not be connected directly to a 24V power supply but must be used together with special controllers. Failure to do will cause the immediate irreversible breakdown of the lighting unit due to overvoltage! Please also note that the downward light on new units is less bright. This service bulletin provides you with information on how the new step nose lighting units are connected to the vehicle wiring.
