What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

NABI Bus, LLC (NABI) is recalling certain model year 2014 40LFW city transit buses manufactured September 12, 2014, to December 31, 2014. The affected buses have front axles whose tie rod nuts may be improperly torqued.

The risk

If the tie rod nuts are not properly torqued, the tie rod may not be adequately secured, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

NABI will notify owners, and dealers will be retorque the tie rod nuts, free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2015. Owners may contact NABI customer service at 1-256-241-1298. NABI's number for this recall is 20151.

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
