The problem
Bci is recalling 72 my 2007-2008 falcon 45 buses. These vehicles have the potential for an out-of-level condition leading to possible transverse axle loading.
The risk
Transverse load can create increased axle load at one side causing tire wear which, if unaddressed, could cause tire failure which could result in a crash.
