What's wrong?
The leveling valve linkage on a 2014-2017 Temsa TS45 motorcoach is part of the suspension height control system. It connects the suspension to a valve that helps keep the coach at the correct ride height as load changes. The linkage needs tight, correct fasteners so the bracket and metal parts stay clear of the tires.
On affected coaches, the linkage mechanism was attached with the wrong fasteners during production. Those fasteners loosen under normal service, letting the linkage and bracket move out of position. Once loose, the metal parts can detach or contact the tires, which damages the tire and leaves the suspension height control hardware unsecured.
There is no warning sign before failure. During service, a technician or dealer can see the affected bracket design and fastener condition, but an owner or driver should not count on a dashboard light, noise, or handling change first.
