What's wrong?
The hydraulic power-assist steering hoses on 2014-2019 Temsa TS45 buses carry pressurized fluid through the steering system. That pressure helps the driver turn the wheels with normal steering effort, especially during low-speed turns, parking maneuvers, and close-quarters operation.
On affected buses, the hose defect traces to improper part manufacturing or installation. A hose that is made or routed incorrectly can become damaged, leak, or burst while the bus is being operated. When the hose loses fluid or pressure, the steering system no longer gets the hydraulic assist it is designed to provide.
Owners and operators should look for visible hose damage, wetness around the steering hoses, or signs of hydraulic fluid leaking near hose connections. Those are the warning signs Temsa identified before failure.
