What NHTSA recorded

On certain transit buses, the front axle stops and the power steering gear hydraulic limit valves were found to be out of adjustment. The drag link may experience permanent deformation due to the steering load.

Possible consequence

During long term operation involving repeated flexing of the drag link, it may eventually crack and break. The driver will no longer have steering control of the vehicle and a crash could occur causing injury or death.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the drag links with a stronger drag link. Dealers will also inspect the steering gear hydraulic limit valve settings. The recall began on may 16, 2005. Owners may contact nabi at 256-831-4296.
