The short version

North American Bus Industries, Inc. reported a problem with the structure. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The buses may have a defective steering gear attachment. Cracks may develop in the bracket that secures the power steering gear to the bus frame or the bus frame may crack around the bolts that attach the steering gear bracket to the frame.

WHY IT MATTERS

If left unchecked, the cracks may propagate and cause partial separation of the steering gear from the bus frame. This would cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

WHAT TO DO

NABI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the buses free of charge.
