    Electrical System / 12v/24v/48v Battery

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The shorted inductor may cause the battery equalizer to smoke or burn, possibly resulting in a fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    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.

  2. 05V088000Received . 3,680 units.

    Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain transit buses, the front axle stops and the power steering gear hydraulic limit valves were found to be out of adjustment. The drag link may experience permanent deformation due to the steering load.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    During long term operation involving repeated flexing of the drag link, it may eventually crack and break. The driver will no longer have steering control of the vehicle and a crash could occur causing injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and replace the drag links with a stronger drag link. Dealers will also inspect the steering gear hydraulic limit valve settings. The recall began on may 16, 2005. Owners may contact nabi at 256-831-4296.

  3. 03V215000Received . 105 units.

    Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine / Diesel

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain transit buses equipped with cummins westport b gas plus or c gas plus 6 cylinder engines, the electronic control module calibration may not correctly detect a throttle plate actuator failure that could result in an uncommanded open throttle condition.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the electronic control module calibration free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact cummins customer assistance center at 1-800-343-7357 or nabi at 1-256-831-4296.

    Report filed by NORTH AMERICAN BUS INDUSTRIES. Manufacturer campaign number 20031.

  4. 02V332000Received . 1,474 units.

    Suspension / Rear

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain transit buses equipped with diesel or liquid natural gas (lng) fuel systems only, in the area of the rear axle lower radius rod attachment to the suspension support (or "c" frame), a welding problem exists.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If a crack were to develop and propagate around the circumference of the bushing, the radius rod attachment could become loose and allow movement between the lower radius rod and the rear axle. Should this happen, the rear axle position could shift during acceleration, deceleration, or in turns, and could affect the handling of the vehicle.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Owners are being requested to inspect their buses for cracks and to remove the buses from service that have cracks exceeding specific criteria. Nabi will arrange to repair all the vehicles. Owner notification is expected to begin on december 31, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact nabi at 1-888-424-5844, extension 7900.
