The defect
Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (Temsa) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 TS45 coaches manufactured from July 1, 2013, through July 28, 2015. Due to the low output pressure of the inversion relay valve, the affected coaches may have insufficient air pressure for the rear axle parking brake system.
The risk
The low air pressure may cause the parking brakes to drag while the vehicle is in motion resulting in the overheating of the disc brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.
The remedy
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.
