NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

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 remedy

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.

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.
