The problem
North american bus industries (nabi) is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 416 transit buses manufactured from august 29, 2011, through february 19, 2012. The vehicles have a loose connection in the joint between the steering pitman arm and the steering drag link. The joint may separate over time resulting in loss of steering control.
The risk
A loss of steering control could result in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Nabi will inspect and repair vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began during march 2012. Owners may contact nabi at 1-256-831-4296.
