Temsa

VISIBILITY — Insufficient Number of Emergency Exits\FMVSS 217 · November 23, 2012

The problem

Temsa Global is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 TS35 buses for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release." The buses may have one too few emergency exits on each side of the bus for the number of seats that the bus is equipped with.

Risk

Passengers may be delayed in exiting the vehicle during an emergency which can increase the risk of personal injury.

What owners should do

Temsa will notify owners, and will install a third emergency exit window on each side side of the bus, free of charge. The recall began on January 3, 2013. Owners may contact Temsa at 1-404-602-0151.
