The defect
Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 TS30 motorcoaches manufactured from November 2011, through December 2012. When the vehicle is put in the "body lift" position, the brake hoses near the front tires become stretched.
The risk
After repeated use of the "body lift" function, the brake hoses may leak air reducing the braking force of the front brake system, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Temsa will notify owners, and dealers will install longer front brake hoses, free of charge. The recall will begin February 20, 2013. Owners may contact Temsa at 1-404-602-0151.
