- Component:
- Steering:hydraulic power assist system
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1998 - 02/19/2005
- Affected:
- 3,680
- Defect:
- 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:
- 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.
- Correction:
- 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.

- 07V298000 on 07/12/2007
- Component:
- Parking brake
- Manufactured:
- 12/31/2002 - 08/30/2005
- Affected:
- 164
- Defect:
- 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:
- This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- 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.

- Campaign:
- 08V437000 on 08/26/2008
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/2003 - 08/30/2005
- Affected:
- 164
- Defect:
- North american bus industries (nabi) is recalling 164 my 2003-2004 45clfw composite bodied transit buses. after prolonged use of the parker check valve, the valve body retainer may become excessively worn, and eventually break apart.
- Consequence:
- Pieces of the valve could become lodged within the spring brake valve, potentially causing a leak or preventing air from properly exhausting from the spring brake valve. this could cause a delay in brake application of the spring (parking) brakes after the operator pulls the dash control valve, spring brakes not fully releasing, or loss of isolation between the primary and secondary circuits. this can occur without warning and possibly lead to unintended vehicle roll-away, brake drag, or in the case of loss of primary circuit, the inability to modulate the spring b rakes.
- Correction:
- Nabi is working with bendix to replace the parker check valves (please see 07e038). owners may contact bendix at 1-440-329-9000 or nabi at 1-888-391-1777.
