Posted on: 2013-01-02
Description
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.
Corrective Action
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.

DEFECT #2 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL
Posted on: 2013-04-11
Description
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.
Corrective Action
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.

Description
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.

Consequence
