What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: transit buses equipped with vanner 60 series battery equalizers. The equalizer could fail to operate properly and cause malfunction of the battery charging system.

Possible consequence

Without fusing, the equalizer may melt, burn, or smoke, possibly resulting in a fire or a smoke filled bus, thus necessitating a passenger evacuation of the bus. The failure mode can cause operator distraction, and/or possible personal injury.

Remedy

Nabi will notify owners to inspect their buses for certain equalizers by the date code. The affected equalizers will be replaced. Owner notification began march 1, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact nabi at 1-256-831-4296 or vanner at 1-800-227-6937.
