What happened

Temsa Global is recalling certain 2011-2013 TS35C and 2012-2013 TS30 motor coach buses due to electrical system problems in the instrument cluster. The vehicles have two service air brake pressure gauges that both read pressure from the same air tank instead of reading different tanks, and the ABS system warning light does not illuminate when the key is turned on as required. These issues prevent drivers from accurately monitoring brake system pressure and detecting ABS problems, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy is a free software update. Affected owners should contact Temsa Global at 1-404-602-0151 to arrange the update. The recall began on June 3, 2013.

Hazard

Without accurate gauges, the driver may not notice the pressure change in the secondary brake system. The driver may also not be aware of an ABS issue without the bulb illuminating each time the key is turned on. Either issue increases the risk of a crash.

What should I do?

Temsa will notify owners and they will update the software, free of charge. The recall began on June 3, 2013. Owners may contact Temsa Global at 1-404-602-0151.

Details from the source

Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 TS35C and 2012-2013 TS30 motor coach buses. First, the two service air brake pressure gauges are both reading the pressure of the same air tank. Second, the ABS system malfunction indicator light does not illuminate momentarily when the key is turned to the 'ON' or 'RUN' position. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
