Defect. 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.

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.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE LEFT FRONT LEVELING VALVE ASSEMBLY AND REPLUMB THE FRONT AIR BAGS TO RIGHT FRONT LEVELING VALVE ONLY. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING SEPTEMBER 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BCI AT 1-877-452-9224.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
