Consequence: The shorted inductor may cause the battery equalizer to smoke or burn, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy: Nabi, along with sure power, will inspect and replace the battery equalizer free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2006. Owners may contact nabi at 1-888-424-5844, extension 7900.

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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.
