My bus driver has a 2015 blue bird all american fe. His routes involve many half-sharp left turns (+ roads). I have noticed, when he turns the steering wheel makes a moaning sound. It isn't loud, but it is enough to notice it being heard up in the front. The moaning sound doesn't happen when he turns right.
Fuel tanks could have come out of the supports and fallen on the road and/or caused a fire.
