Temsa Coach Buses Recalled for Missing Emergency Exit Window Labels

Temsa is recalling 249 TS30 and TS35C coach buses because the label indicating the nearest emergency exit window release mechanism may be missing.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, as the missing label increases the time required to find emergency exits during an emergency.

Plain-English summary

Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 TS35C and model year 2012-2013 TS30 coach buses. The recall involves 249 vehicles in total.

The label indicating the nearest emergency exit window release mechanism may be missing on these buses. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to conform with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

Without the label to identify the closest release mechanism, passengers may spend extra time finding the location of an exit window release mechanism during an emergency, which increases the risk of injury. Temsa Global will notify owners and have any missing labels installed. The recall began on September 2, 2013. Owners may contact CH Bus Sales at 1-407-271-8935 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
