NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 13V304000.
Defect description
Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 TS35C and model year 2012-2013 TS30 coach buses. The label indicating the nearest emergency exit window release mechanism may be missing. Thus, these buses fail to conform with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
Safety consequence
Without a label to identify the closest release mechanism, in the case of an emergency, passengers may spend extra time to find the location of an exit window release mechanism, increasing the risk of injury.
Manufacturer remedy
Temsa Global will notify owners and have any missing labels installed. The recall began on September 2, 2013. Owners may contact CH Bus Sales at 1-407-271-8935.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
