    Structure / Frame and Members / Underbody Shields

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Nabi is recalling 579 my 2005-2007 60brt model year 2007 65brt and my 2003-2004 60lfw transit buses. These buses may contain a defective welded crossmember assembly in the understructure. This crossmember is a welded assembly that includes a steel channel welded to the articulated joint casting at the front trailer section of the bus. Under certain conditions, this weld may crack and the welded crossmember assembly may begin to separate. Once partial separation occurs, the center portion of the bus in the area of the front of the trailer may drop. If this condition is undetected, additional separation of the joint may occur until the front section of the trailer contact the road surface.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This could result in loss control of the bus increasing the risk of a crash. This could also result in a loss of electrical power and engine controls. This loss of electrical power and engine controls may render the vehicle stalled in a roadway. Additionally, the floor inside the vehicle will become uneven posing a risk to passengers in the vehicle.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and repair including installation of an additional reinforcement to the affect joint. This repair will be performed free of charge. The recall began on april 30, 2009. Owner may contact nabi at 1-888-391-1777.

  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.

    Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist / Power Steering Fluid

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain 40' and 60' transit buses, the hydraulic system that provides power to the radiator cooling fan and power steering system is subject to becoming unstable.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    When this occurs, the driver will be subjected to hard turning of the steering wheel and loss of power assist in the steering system, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Nabi is conducting the owner notification and eaton corporation will perform the remedy for this campaign. Eaton will inspect and repair the hydraulic system. The recall began march 20, 2005. Owners should contact eaton at 952-967-7168 or nabi at 1-888-424-5844.

  4. 04V366000Received . 153 units.

    Structure

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Certain transit buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus emergency exits and window retention and release." there is interference between the side destination sign and the window frame that will not allow the window to open sufficiently.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    During an emergency situation, the first emergency egress window located on the curb side of the vehicle, immediately behind the entrance door, will not open sufficiently to allow a person to escape in the event of an emergency, which could cause personal injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Nabi will inspect and relocate the side destination sign to eliminate this interference. The recall began august 27, 2004. Owners may contact nabi at 1-888-424-5844, ext. 7900.
