What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (Temsa) is recalling certain 2014-2018 TS45 coach buses. The hydraulic steering hose for the tag axle steering system may leak or burst during operation or service of the vehicle.

The risk

If the hose bursts during vehicle operation, a loss of vehicle control can occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the leaking hydraulic fluid may contact hot engine components, increasing the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tag axle's steering hydraulic hoses, free of charge. The recall began on September 21, 2017. Owners may contact Temsa's agent, 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.
