2012 TEMSA TS30 Recalls (6)

Campaign:
13V002000 on 01/01/2013
Component:
Service brakes, air
Affected:
38
Defect:
Temsa global is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 ts30 motorcoaches manufactured from november 2011, through december 2012. when the vehicle is put in the "body lift" position, the brake hoses near the front tires become stretched.
Consequence:
After repeated use of the "body lift" function, the brake hoses may leak air reducing the braking force of the front brake system, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will install longer front brake hoses, free of charge. the recall will begin february 20, 2013. owners may contact temsa at 1-404-602-0151.

13V135000 on 04/10/2013
Component:
Electrical system: instrument panel
Manufactured:
10/31/2011 - 12/30/2011
Affected:
228
Defect:
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."
Consequence:
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.
Correction:
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.
Notes:

Affected:

Defect:
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."
Consequence:
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.

(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."
