As reported, Handah Indah mentioned that the problem lies with the wheel hub (轮毂). The company found out that the supplier for the wheel hub had an error in quality control, this in turn caused the screw nuts to loosen and so the whole wheel came off. -

It's something to do to the engine. From what I've heard (not sure how true), the O405Gs are fitted with a normal O405 engine with a turbo. The bus overall is underpowered and thus requires more energy to run, especially the way a SL drive, tends to overwork, thus catching fire.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
