2003–2005 Nabi 45Clfw recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain transit buses equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
💥 The risk
This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Bendix, in conjunction with nabi, is handling the remedy for this campaign (please see 07E-037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected SR-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact bendix at 440-329-9000 or nabi at 256-831-4296.
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.)
