For the 2003 Nabi 40LFW. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Nabi been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Nabi dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Steering › Hydraulic power assist system

Summary
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.
