2010 NABI 416 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2010 NABI 416 has 0 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to vehicle recalls impacting safety components and equipment. No direct complaints regarding operational or mechanical defects were recorded.
There are six recalls affecting various safety and operational systems on this model. These include engine exhaust components, emergency egress windows, electrical switches, adaptive mobility equipment, transmission interlocks, and driver seat restraints.
Recalls- Engine and exhaust system. NHTSA campaign 11V444000 affects 87 vehicles due to fractured T-bolts in V-band clamp assemblies connecting the diesel oxidation catalyst and particulate filter sections. Failure may cause disconnection and hot exhaust gases to vent, risking fire or road hazards. Repairs are at authorized Cummins dealers free of charge since October 2011.
- Emergency egress window handles. Campaign 12V444000 covers 247 buses where emergency release handles may fail and prevent window opening during emergencies, delaying passenger evacuation and increasing injury risk. NABI inspects and replaces handles free of charge starting November 2012.
- Electrical system defroster switch. Campaign 13V131000 involves 1179 buses with four-position rotary defroster switches that may overheat and melt the dashboard. This defect risks fire or driver distraction that could lead to crashes. NABI installs relays to reduce current flow at no cost from April 2013.
- Wheelchair lift/ramp transmission interlock. Recall 14V587000 addresses 1338 buses without an interlock preventing lift or ramp movement unless the transmission is in neutral. This violates FMVSS 403 and risks unexpected bus movement causing injury if brakes fail. Owners receive updated electrical programming free of charge since November 2014.
- Automatic transmission interlock. Also under recall 14V587000, this affects the same 1338 vehicles regarding the transmission interlock defect described above, requiring the same corrective action and fix.
- Driver seat belt anchorage. Campaign 16V038000 includes 4848 buses with Recaro Ergo-M seats that may have missing welds on J-Brackets, allowing the seatbelt anchorage to separate. This defect reduces driver restraint in a crash and increases injury risk. Recaro supplies replacement brackets and covers labor free of charge since February 2016.
Owners with repeated repairs, unresolved recall issues, or safety defects involving this vehicle should review their state lemon law protections. They may have rights related to persistent problems affecting safety or vehicle performance.

SEATS
New Flyer Industries, Ltd. (New Flyer) is recalling certain model year 2015 New Flyer MD30, 2012 C35LFR, 2010-2011 D35LFR, NABI 35LFW, 2011 D40LFR, 2010-2012 D60LFR and NABI 31LFW, 2010 C40LF, DE35LF, D40LF, DE40LFA, DE60LFA, GE35LFR and GE40LF, 2009 DE60LF and GE40LFR, 2010-2013 C40LFR, DE60LFR, NABI 416 and NABI 60BRT, 2010-2015 XD35, XDE40, NABI 40LFW and 42BRT, 2011-2015 XD40 and XN40, 2013-2015 XD60, XDE60 and XN35, 2010-2014 XDE35, 2013 XE40, 2012-2015 XN60, equipped with certain Recaro Ergo-M Commercial Bus Driver Seats. The affected seats have J-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J-Bracket.
Risk: If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NABI Bus, LLC (NABI) is recalling certain model year 2012 31LFW transit buses manufactured April 28, 2012, to December 16, 2012, and 2008-2013 416 transit buses manufactured October 30, 2008, to February 15, 2014. The affected vehicles may not be equipped with a transmission interlock that prevents the wheelchair lift or ramp from being moved from the stowed position unless the transmission is in neutral. As such, the buses fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 403, "Platform Lift Systems for Motor Vehicles."
Risk: If the wheelchair lift or ramp can be removed from the stowed position while the transmission is not in neutral, if the service brakes fail to hold the bus, the bus may move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury to the wheelchair lift or ramp user.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
NORTH AMERICAN BUS INDUSTRIES (NABI) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 AND 2011 416 TRANSIT BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 2010, THROUGH FEBRUARY 28, 2011, EQUIPPED WITH A CUMMINS ISL DIESEL ENGINE. THE V-BAND CLAMP ASSEMBLY, PART NUMBERS Q187684, Q187685, AND Q187686, USED TO CONNECT THE INLET AND OUTLET CONE SECTIONS TO THE DIESEL OXIDATION CATALYST (DOC)/DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) INCLUDE A T-BOLT WHICH CAN FRACTURE AND FAIL WHEN SUBJECTED TO STRESS OR LOAD. A FRACTURE OR FAILURE OF THE T-BOLT MAY CAUSE THE CLAMP TO LOOSEN AND THE INLET OR OUTLET SECTIONS ATTACHED TO THE DOC/DPF HOUSING TO DISCONNECT.
Risk: IF THE INLET OR OUTLET SECTIONS DISCONNECT, HOT EXHAUST GASES CAN VENT PRIOR TO EXITING THE TAILPIPE, CREATING THE RISK OF COMBUSTION AND A FIRE. IF BOTH CLAMPS FAIL, THERE IS A RISK IN SOME APPLICATIONS THAT THE DOC/DPF HOUSING MAY DETACH COMPLETELY, CREATING A ROAD HAZARD.
