Summary

Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. "Temsa" is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 TS45 coaches manufactured from July 1, 2013, through July 28, 2015. Due to the low output pressure of the inversion relay valve, the affected coaches may have insufficient air pressure for the rear axle parking brake system.

Consequence

The low air pressure may cause the parking brakes to drag while the vehicle is in motion resulting in the overheating of the disc brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2015. Owners may contact Temsa customer service at 1-404-602-0151.

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.
