What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2013 TS35C motorcoach buses manufactured between January 2013 and February 2013 and equipped without a key on the steering column. A component within the steering column may cause the steering wheel to lock.

The risk

If the steering locks unexpectedly, it would hinder the driver's ability to turn, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Temsa Global will notify owners, and dealers will remedy the affected buses, free of charge. The recall began on April 3, 2013. Owners may contact Temsa at 1-404-602-0151.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
