- 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.

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.
