Reported: 2008-09-04 (September 4, 2008)
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.
Consequence: 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.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2007: 1 complaints · 2008: 0 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 2008 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |

Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
