Recall 13V002 covers 38 2012-2013 Temsa TS30 motorcoaches for stretched front brake hoses. Repair is free at any franchised Temsa dealer.
Temsa is recalling 38 2012-2013 TS30 motorcoaches because the body lift position stretches brake hoses near the front tires. After repeated body lift use, an air leak in those hoses can reduce front braking force and increase crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The front brake hoses on the 2012-2013 Temsa TS30 are part of the air brake system. These hoses carry compressed air to the brake hardware near the front wheels, so the brakes respond when the driver applies the pedal. Because the hoses sit near moving suspension and steering parts, they need enough slack to move without being pulled tight.
On affected TS30 motorcoaches, the problem appears when the coach is placed in the "body lift" position. That raised position changes the distance between the body and the front wheel area, and the brake hoses near the front tires become stretched. A hose under that kind of tension is no longer sitting in its normal range of movement, which stresses the brake line and the connections at each end.
There is no warning sign before failure. The owner or driver should not expect a light, sound, or pedal change before the stretched hose becomes a brake-system problem.
Who's affected?
Both model years point to the same brake system component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
Repeated use of the body lift function can let the front brake hoses leak air. That reduces front brake force, gives the vehicle less stopping power, and increases the risk of a crash. Drive cautiously and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Temsa dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2013 Temsa TS30 is included in this recall.
- Review Temsa's owner letter mailed February 20, 2013, or call Temsa at 1-404-602-0151 if you never received it.
- Contact a franchised Temsa dealer to schedule the free longer front-brake-hose installation that keeps the hoses from stretching when the body lift is used.
- Reference recall number 13V002 when you call the dealer.
- Avoid using the body lift function until the longer front brake hoses are installed.
What happens at the repair
The remedy calls for a Temsa technician to install longer front brake hoses on the TS30. The longer hoses address stretching near the front tires when the coach is placed in the body lift position. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered. Ask the service desk to confirm the recall procedure for your VIN before the coach is brought in.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 13V002?
Recall 13V002 covers 38 2012-2013 Temsa TS30 motorcoaches with front brake hoses that become stretched when the body lift function is used. Repeated body lift use can cause air leaks, reduce front braking force, and increase crash risk.
What should I do if my 2012-2013 Temsa TS30 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorcoach is included in recall 13V002. If it is, contact a Temsa dealer to schedule installation of longer front brake hoses. Reference recall 13V002 when you call, or contact Temsa at 1-404-602-0151.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. Temsa dealers will install longer front brake hoses free of charge for included 2012-2013 TS30 motorcoaches.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced front braking force. When the TS30 is placed in the body lift position, the front brake hoses become stretched. After repeated use, the hoses can leak air, which reduces the front brake system's braking force and increases crash risk.
