2011–2012 Temsa TS35 recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

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 fix

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.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
