    Parking Brake

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    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.

    Report filed by NORTH AMERICAN BUS INDUSTRIES, INC.. Manufacturer campaign number 2007-03.

  4. 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.
