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 defect presents a risk of harm (crash) due to tire damage, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. is recalling certain 2014-2018 TS45 motorcoaches. The recall involves 184 vehicles where the air bellow protection cover may become bent during use or servicing. This bending allows the cover to contact and potentially damage the tires on the tag axle.

The contact between the cover and tires may cause a tire to go flat. A flat tire affects vehicle handling and increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bellow cover with a newly designed cover free of charge. The recall began on September 12, 2017. Owners may contact CH Bus Sales, the US Agent for Temsa, at 1-407-271-8935 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
