2008–2013 Nabi 416 & 2012 Nabi 31LFW recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
North American Bus Industries (NABI) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 416 and model year 2012 31LFW transit buses manufactured October 30, 2008, through April 3, 2013 and equipped with a four-position rotary defroster switch with ring terminals. The defroster switch may overheat and melt the dash.
💥 The risk
The overheating of the switch may lead to a fire or distract the driver and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
NABI will notify owners and will install relays to reduce the current flow. This will be done free of charge. Owners may contact NABI at 1-256-831-4296. NABI's campaign number is 20133.
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.)
