⚠️ What's wrong
North american bus industries (nabi) is recalling certain model year 2003-2011 45Clfw transit buses manufactured from july 1, 2003, through december 1, 2011. The vehicles may have a loose connection in the joint between the steering pitman arm and a tapered splined shaft on the steering gear. The splines may wear over time resulting in loss of steering control.

A loss of steering control could result in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Nabi will inspect and repair vehicles, as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall began on august 7, 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.)
