STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT:LATCHING/RELEASE SYSTEM
A broken handle wire on the emergency exit can delay passengers from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A broken handle wire on the emergency exit can delay passengers from exiting the vehicle during an emergency, increasing their risk of injury.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Delays in opening emergency exits can increase the risk of an injury in the event of an emergency.
Loss of hydraulic steering fluid pressure may affect steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
If there are contaminants in the fire suppression dry chemical, the chemical may discharge improperly, affecting the suppression of a fire and increasing the risk of injury.
If the hose bursts during vehicle operation, a loss of vehicle control can occur, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the leaking hydraulic fluid may contact hot engine components, increasing the risk of a fire.
Two 2018 TEMSA TS45s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
