2000–2001 Nabi 40LFW recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain city transit buses equipped with sure power series 1 battery equalizers, these equalizers used an inductor with the coils protected by insulation. Over time, the inductor insulation may degrade creating an electrical short within the equalizer.
💥 The risk
The shorted inductor may cause the battery equalizer to smoke or burn, possibly resulting in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Nabi, along with sure power, will inspect and replace the battery equalizer free of charge. The recall began on september 25, 2006. Owners may contact nabi at 1-888-424-5844, extension 7900.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
