What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (Temsa) is recalling certain model year 2008-2016 TS35C buses manufactured July 21, 2008, to December 12, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the steering gearbox bracket fastener may loosen.

The risk

If the bracket fasterner loosens it can cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fastener bolts, free of charge. The recall began on February 4, 2016. Owners may contact Temsa customer service 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.
