Recall 10V632 covers 811 2006-2010 Nabi Clfw, Brt, and Lfw buses for power-steering-fluid leaks. Repair is free at any franchised Nabi dealer.
Nabi is recalling 811 2006-2010 Clfw, Brt, and Lfw transit buses because Eaton hydraulic fan driver control manifolds can leak power steering fluid. The leak can reduce power steering assist, raise crash risk, and ignite in the engine compartment; the dealer repair will be free once Nabi makes the remedy available.

What's wrong?
The affected 2006-2010 Nabi Clfw, Brt, and Lfw transit buses use an Eaton hydraulic fan driver control manifold. This manifold is a control block in the hydraulic fan drive system, directing pressurized power steering fluid so the cooling fan can operate as designed. The system depends on the manifold staying sealed while fluid moves under pressure.
On these buses, the manifold is subject to a hydraulic leak. Power steering fluid can escape from the fan driver control manifold instead of staying inside the hydraulic circuit. Once fluid leaks out, the fan drive system loses the clean, contained fluid path it needs, and the bus needs inspection and repair of the affected manifold.
There is no warning sign before failure. After a leak starts, maintenance staff can look for wet power steering fluid around the manifold area, fluid below the bus, or a drop in the power steering fluid level.
Who's affected?
Spans three Nabi bus models across the 2006-2010 model years, all tied to the same exhaust system component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific bus is included.
What's the safety risk?
NHTSA campaign 10V632 describes a power steering fluid leak that can remove power steering assist, which raises crash risk. The same leak can start an engine compartment fire. Schedule the recall repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Nabi dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2010 Nabi Clfw, Brt, or Lfw bus is included in this recall.
- Contact Nabi customer service at 1-256-831-4296 to confirm repair instructions for your VIN.
- Ask Nabi about the free inspection and repair for the Eaton hydraulic fan driver control manifold leak that can reduce power steering assist or start an engine-compartment fire.
- Reference recall number 10V632 when you call, and have the bus year, model, and VIN ready.
- Avoid regular service until Nabi confirms the bus has been inspected and the power-steering-fluid leak repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nabi technician inspects the Eaton hydraulic fan driver control manifold tied to the hydraulic fan drive system. The recall repair addresses the power steering fluid leak condition described in campaign 10V632. Nabi's filing says vehicles will be inspected and repaired free of charge, with the safety recall expected to begin during January 2011. Because the remedy status is not listed as available here, treat the final dealer repair as free once available and confirm the current repair path with the dealer before moving the bus.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V632?
Recall 10V632 covers 811 2006-2010 Nabi Clfw, Brt, and Lfw transit buses with Eaton hydraulic fan driver control manifolds that can leak power steering fluid. The leak can reduce power steering assist and increase crash risk, and leaking fluid can start an engine compartment fire.
What should I do if my 2006-2010 Nabi Clfw, Brt, or Lfw is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific bus is included in recall 10V632. If it is, contact Nabi customer service at 1-256-831-4296 or your authorized Nabi service channel to arrange the inspection and repair. Reference recall 10V632 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Nabi's remedy says it will inspect and repair the buses free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for vehicles included in recall 10V632.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is loss of power steering assist and an engine compartment fire. Power steering fluid leaking from the hydraulic fan driver control manifold can make the bus harder to steer, increasing crash risk. The same leaked fluid can ignite in the engine compartment.
What if I bought this Nabi bus used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner, fleet, or selling dealer. Check your VIN to confirm whether the bus is included, then contact Nabi customer service or an authorized Nabi service channel with recall number 10V632.
