The defect
Temsa Global Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. (Temsa) is recalling 2013-2020 certain TS35C, TS35E and TS45 buses. The instruction label of the emergency exit windows may be inadequate to clearly describe how to open the push out windows quickly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
The risk
Delays in opening emergency exits can increase the risk of an injury in the event of an emergency.
