2004 Nabi 40LFW & 2004 Nabi 60LFW recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain transit busses equipped with tie rod clamps, heat treatment of clamps created a surface hardness that could lead to a fracture of the clamps.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crack the clamps could break off affecting toe-in and alignment. The tie rod CAN come loose resulting in steering loss and a crash could occur without prior warning.
