Temsa Recalls 2013-2016 TS45 Coaches Due to Parking Brake Fire Risk

Temsa is recalling 2013-2016 TS45 coaches because low air pressure may cause parking brakes to drag, overheat, and potentially start a fire.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (parking brake system) that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 TS45 coaches manufactured between July 1, 2013, and July 28, 2015. The recall involves 64 vehicles.

The defect is caused by the low output pressure of the inversion relay valve, which may result in insufficient air pressure for the rear axle parking brake system. This low air pressure can cause the parking brakes to drag while the vehicle is in motion, leading to overheating of the disc brakes and increasing the risk of a fire.

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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
