2012 Temsa TS35C recalls 6
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (Temsa) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 TS30 motorcoaches and 2007-2014 TS35C motorcoaches. The emergency roof labels do not have adequate instructions for exiting the bus in the event of an emergency. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
- The risk
- In the event of an emergency, passengers may spend extra time trying to get the roof exit open, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix
- Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the emergency exit labels on the roof exit, free of charge. The recall began on September 4, 2014. Owners may contact CH Bus Sales, US Agent for Temsa, at 1-877-858-3672.
- The problem
- Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 TS35C and model year 2012-2013 TS30 coach buses. The label indicating the nearest emergency exit window release mechanism may be missing. Thus, these buses fail to conform with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
- The risk
- Without a label to identify the closest release mechanism, in the case of an emergency, passengers may spend extra time to find the location of an exit window release mechanism, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix
- Temsa Global will notify owners and have any missing labels installed. The recall began on September 2, 2013. Owners may contact CH Bus Sales at 1-407-271-8935.
- The problem
- Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 TS35C motorcoach buses manufactured November 2010 through May 2013 and 2012-2013 TS30 motorcoach buses manufactured November 2011 through April 2013 and equipped with 3-point seat belts. The bolts used for the installation of the seat were tighted over their torque specification which may cause the bolts to fail.
- The risk
- In the event of a crash, the bolts may break, failing to properly anchor the seat, increasing the risk of injury.
- The fix
- Temsa Global will notify owners and dealers will replace the existing bolts with new ones. The recall began on July 9, 2013. Owners may contact CH Bus Sales at 1-407-271-8935.
- The problem
- Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 model year TS35C coach buses manufactured from November 2010, through February 2013. Due to a production process error, the fuel tank may develop a leak.
- The risk
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
- The fix
- Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on June 26, 2013. Owners may contact CH Bus sales at 1-407-271-8935.
- The problem
- Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 TS35C and 2012-2013 TS30 motor coach buses. First, the two service air brake pressure gauges are both reading the pressure of the same air tank. Second, the ABS system malfunction indicator light does not illuminate momentarily when the key is turned to the 'ON' or 'RUN' position. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- The risk
- Without accurate gauges, the driver may not notice the pressure change in the secondary brake system. The driver may also not be aware of an ABS issue without the bulb illuminating each time the key is turned on. Either issue increases the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Temsa will notify owners and they will update the software, free of charge. The recall began on June 3, 2013. Owners may contact Temsa Global at 1-404-602-0151.
