MAN, Neoplan Tourliner, Skyliner, Cityliner, Lions Coach, TGS, TGX lorry / bus — fire risk

Hazard

Excessive ageing and contamination of engine oil can cause damage to the engine bearings, exacerbated by poor maintenance and use of non-approved oils. This can lead to significant engine damage, including fires. The risk is particularly elevated when mandatory maintenance intervals are exceeded, and the sensitivity of the engine's lead-free main bearings to contaminated oil increases the likelihood of severe failures, causing the piston rod to breach the crankcase. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
