What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: school buses built on a 9,500 lb. Gross vehicle weight ratio gmt-600 chevy cutaway chassis with an exterior width of 80 inches. There is not enough clearance between the wheelwell and the rear tire allowing the inside of the rear tire to rub on the steel wheelwell.

Possible consequence

The tire rubbing can cause a premature tire failure increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Dealers will repair the wheelwell to prevent the tire from rubbing. If an owner prefers, detailed instructions will be provided so the bus owners can repair their vehicles.
