What's wrong?
The electrical cable on 2007-2015 Glaval Bus Titan Ii transit buses is part of the bus electrical system. Its job is to carry power through a terminal strip, which is a fixed connection point where wires are secured so current flows through the intended path. The cable also needs to stay clear of nearby engine-bay parts, including the fan shroud.
On affected buses, the cable is routed across the top of the fan shroud and is not properly positioned on the terminal strip. That poor position leaves the connection loose. A loose electrical connection lets current pass unevenly, and the gap at the terminal strip can let electricity arc, which means it jumps across the connection instead of flowing cleanly through it.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the connection loosens or arcs, the problem starts at the wiring and terminal strip, not from a driver-controlled switch or gauge.

What's the safety risk?
An improperly positioned cable can loosen or arc, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Until your VIN is checked and the connection is inspected, watch for burning smells, smoke, or electrical trouble and contact the dealer promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Glaval Bus dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2007-2015 Glaval Bus Titan Ii is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Glaval Bus dealer to ask about the free cable inspection and repositioning that fixes the loose electrical connection at the terminal strip.
- Reference recall number 15V462 when you call, and bring the recall notice if you have it.
- Avoid operating the bus until the dealer checks the cable routing across the fan shroud and completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Glaval Bus technician inspects the cable to stud connection at the terminal strip and fan shroud area. The technician repositions the cable so it is not routed across the top of the fan shroud and confirms the connection is secure. The filing says this inspection and cable repositioning are performed free of charge. For this older recall, call the dealer before taking the bus in so the service desk can confirm scheduling and repair availability.
