The problem
NABI Bus, LLC (NABI) is recalling certain model year 2013 40LFW and 31LFW transit buses equipped with painted steel wheels. Due to excessive paint on the wheels, the wheel lug nuts may loosen during operation.
The risk
If the lug nuts loosen during operation, the wheel could detach from the bus, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
NABI has notified the fleet owner of these buses and has replaced the affected painted steel wheels, free of charge. The recall began in August 2013. Customers may contact NABI at 1-256-831-4296. NABI's number for this recall is 20137.
