What NHTSA recorded

The center axle mounted steering gear necessitates the use of longer tie rod arms. These arms come in closer proximity to the front tires than buses not having the center axle mounted steering gear. Consequence of defect: the longer tie rod could scuff the front tire, which could result in tire failure and possible loss of vehicle control.

Remedy

Replacement of tie rods on buses found to have tire clearance problems.
