NHTSA Recall 13V002000
Filed by Temsa. Component: Service Brakes, Air. Reported 2013-01-02. An estimated 38 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
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.
Risk
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.
What the manufacturer will do
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.
