The problem

North American Bus Industries (NABI) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 416 and model year 2012 31LFW transit buses manufactured October 30, 2008, through April 3, 2013 and equipped with a four-position rotary defroster switch with ring terminals. The defroster switch may overheat and melt the dash.

The risk

The overheating of the switch may lead to a fire or distract the driver and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

The fix

NABI will notify owners and will install relays to reduce the current flow. This will be done free of charge. Owners may contact NABI at 1-256-831-4296. NABI's campaign number is 20133.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
