2012 TEMSA TS30 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2012 TEMSA TS30 has 0 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues identified through recalls affecting safety-related components, including braking, visibility, and emergency exit labeling.
Six recalls address various systems and components on the 2012 TS30 model. These recalls cover air brake pressure gauge errors, missing emergency exit labels, seat mounting bolt torque problems, brake hose issues, insufficient emergency roof labels, and visibility limitations at certain intersections.
- Air brake gauges and ABS light. Recall 13V135000 affects 228 buses with incorrect air brake pressure gauge readings and an ABS malfunction indicator light that does not illuminate when the key is turned to "ON" or "RUN." This may prevent the driver from recognizing brake system issues, increasing crash risk. Software updates are provided under the recall.
- Missing emergency exit labels. Recall 13V304000 involves 249 buses missing labels that identify the nearest emergency exit window release mechanism. Lack of clear labeling could slow passenger evacuation during emergencies. Missing labels will be installed free of charge.
- Seat mounting bolt over-torque. Recall 13V250000 covers 256 buses with 3-point seat belts where seat installation bolts were tightened beyond specifications. Bolts may fail in a crash, compromising seat anchorage and increasing injury risk. Dealers will replace bolts at no cost.
- Brake hose stretching. Recall 13V002000 covers 38 buses where brake hoses near the front tires can stretch when the vehicle is in "body lift" position. Repeated use may cause air leaks and reduce braking effectiveness, elevating crash risk. Longer hoses are installed free of charge.
- Inadequate emergency roof exit labels. Recall 14V388000 affects 495 buses with roof exit labels lacking sufficient instructions for emergency evacuation. Passengers may take longer to exit, increasing injury risk. Replacement labels are provided under the recall.
- Limited driver visibility. Recall 14V387000 includes 124 buses where drivers have restricted views of oncoming traffic from the right side at intersections with angles less than ninety degrees. Reduced visibility raises crash risk. Additional interior mirrors will be installed at no charge.
Owners with unresolved recall issues or repeated repairs related to safety defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. They should consult their state’s consumer protection resources for guidance.

VISIBILITY
Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (Temsa) is recalling certain model year 2012 TS30 motorcoaches manufactured November 2011, to December 2011; 2013 TS30 motorcoaches manufactured September 2012, to April 2013; and 2014 TS30 motorcoaches manufactured July 2013, to April 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver may have a hard time seeing oncoming traffic from the right side at an intersection where the angle is less than ninety degrees.
Risk: The driver's reduced ability to easily see traffic approching from the right side increases the risk of a crash.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (Temsa) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 TS30 motorcoaches and 2007-2014 TS35C motorcoaches. The emergency roof labels do not have adequate instructions for exiting the bus in the event of an emergency. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Risk: In the event of an emergency, passengers may spend extra time trying to get the roof exit open, increasing the risk of injury.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 TS30 motorcoaches manufactured from November 2011, through December 2012. When the vehicle is put in the "body lift" position, the brake hoses near the front tires become stretched.
Risk: After repeated use of the "body lift" function, the brake hoses may leak air reducing the braking force of the front brake system, increasing the risk of a crash.

SEATS
Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 TS35C motorcoach buses manufactured November 2010 through May 2013 and 2012-2013 TS30 motorcoach buses manufactured November 2011 through April 2013 and equipped with 3-point seat belts. The bolts used for the installation of the seat were tighted over their torque specification which may cause the bolts to fail.
Risk: In the event of a crash, the bolts may break, failing to properly anchor the seat, increasing the risk of injury.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 TS35C and model year 2012-2013 TS30 coach buses. The label indicating the nearest emergency exit window release mechanism may be missing. Thus, these buses fail to conform with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Risk: Without a label to identify the closest release mechanism, in the case of an emergency, passengers may spend extra time to find the location of an exit window release mechanism, increasing the risk of injury.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 TS35C and 2012-2013 TS30 motor coach buses. First, the two service air brake pressure gauges are both reading the pressure of the same air tank. Second, the ABS system malfunction indicator light does not illuminate momentarily when the key is turned to the 'ON' or 'RUN' position. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: Without accurate gauges, the driver may not notice the pressure change in the secondary brake system. The driver may also not be aware of an ABS issue without the bulb illuminating each time the key is turned on. Either issue increases the risk of a crash.
