2013 TEMSA TS30 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2013 TEMSA TS30 has 0 complaints and 7 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to safety features and mechanical components due to multiple recalls. Problems identified in recalled units involve brake systems, axle assemblies, emergency exit labeling, seat installation, and visibility.
Seven recalls address defects in multiple systems affecting both safety and operational functionality.
Recalls- Instrument cluster and ABS. NHTSA recall 13V135000 involved 228 buses with gauges reading the same air tank pressure incorrectly and ABS warning light failing to illuminate. This could prevent drivers from detecting brake pressure changes or ABS faults, increasing crash risk. Temsa will update the software free of charge.
- Axle shafts. Recall 13V317000 affected 10 units due to improper heat treatment causing axle shafts to potentially break. If breakage occurs during driving, the bus may stall in traffic, raising crash risk. Axles will be replaced by dealers at no charge.
- Emergency exit labels missing. In recall 13V304000, 249 buses lacked labels identifying the nearest emergency exit window release. This could delay passenger evacuation during emergencies, increasing injury risk. Missing labels will be installed for free.
- Seat bolts over-torqued. Recall 13V250000 covered 256 buses with seat installation bolts tightened beyond specifications, which may cause bolt failure during a crash. Damaged bolts could lead to improper seat anchoring and injury. Bolts will be replaced free of charge.
- Brake hoses stretched. Recall 13V002000 involved 38 buses with brake hoses stretched during "body lift" operation. Hose damage may cause air leaks reducing front brake effectiveness, increasing crash risk. Longer hoses will be installed at no cost.
- Emergency roof exit labels inadequate. Recall 14V388000 affected 495 buses where roof exit labels lacked sufficient emergency exit instructions. Passengers could waste time during evacuation, increasing injury risk. New labels will be installed free of charge.
- Driver visibility. Recall 14V387000 included 124 buses where drivers have difficulty seeing oncoming traffic from the right at certain intersections. Reduced visibility raises crash risk. An additional interior mirror will be added at no charge to improve sight lines.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved safety defects related to recalls may want to review their rights under state lemon laws for potential remedies available due to repeated or serious vehicle issues.

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.

38 vehicles affected
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.
2013 TEMSA TS30
256 vehicles affected
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.
2013 TEMSA TS30
249 vehicles affected
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.

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2013 TS30 buses manufactured in April 2013. Due to an improper heat treatment, the axle shafts may break.
Risk: If the axles break while driving, the bus could become stuck in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.

228 vehicles affected
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.
