What NHTSA recorded

Setra Luxury Coaches is recalling certain model year 2013 S417TC buses manufactured in April and May 2013. The bolted joint at the lower control arm in the rear axle could loosen due to a change in the manufacturing tightening method.

Possible consequence

If the control arm loosens, it could reduce the driver's ability to control the direction of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
