Temsa TS35
The defect
Temsa global (temsa) IS recalling certain model year 2011-2012 TS35 buses for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, air brake systems. the anti-lock brake system (ABS) malfunction warning indicator does not illuminate in a check lamp function when the ignition IS turned to the on or run position.
The risk
Without the check lamp feature, the driver may not be aware that the indicator lamp IS not working properly, and if there were an ABS problem, the driver would not receive a warning. a malfunctioning anti-lock brake system may increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. the safety recall began on march 15, 2012. owners may contact temsa at 1-407-601-7801.
