Temsa Recalls Motorcoaches Due to Inadequate Emergency Roof Exit Labels

Temsa is recalling 2007-2014 TS35C and 2012-2014 TS30 motorcoaches because emergency roof exit labels lack adequate instructions, potentially delaying evacuation.

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 inadequate labels may delay emergency evacuation and increase injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 TS30 motorcoaches and 2007-2014 TS35C motorcoaches. The recall involves 495 vehicles in the United States.

The emergency roof labels on these vehicles do not provide adequate instructions for exiting the bus in an emergency. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

In an emergency, passengers may spend extra time trying to open the roof exit, which increases the risk of injury. Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the emergency exit labels on the roof exit free of charge. The recall began on September 4, 2014. Owners may contact CH Bus Sales, the US Agent for Temsa, at 1-877-858-3672.
