2011–2012 Nabi 416 recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
North american bus industries (nabi) is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 416 transit buses manufactured from august 29, 2011, through february 19, 2012. The vehicles have a loose connection in the joint between the steering pitman arm and the steering drag link. The joint may separate over time resulting in loss of steering control.
💥 The risk
A loss of steering control could result in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Nabi will inspect and repair vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began during march 2012. Owners may contact nabi at 1-256-831-4296.
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.)
