What NHTSA recorded

A casting deficiency in the rear axle front spring hanger may result in cracks around the four bolts that hold the hanger to the frame. This may cause a failure of the spring hanger and separation of casting and frame. Continued operation could result in the bus body dropping down onto the tire.

Remedy

Defective spring hangers will be replaced without charge to owner.
