- Steering:hydraulic power assist system
- Affected:
- 300
- Defect:
- Cetain eaton hydraulics motor manifold assemblies model mcd 7810, rev g, p/n 02-198616, part of motor manifold assembly 100at00002a produced between december 2002 and march 2004 and sold for use on north american bus industries (nabi) transit buses model 40lfw. the lack of an orifice in the proportional valve manifold assembly leads to pressure oscillations which may ultimately lead to a degradation of power-assisted steering.
- Consequence:
- Loss of power assist could result in a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
- Correction:
- Nabi is doing the repairs for this campaign. nabi will install an orifice free of charge. see recall 04v-474.

- 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.
