The problem
Nabi is recalling certain model year 2001 through 2009 416 model standard floor city transit buses manufactured from january 2001 through october 5, 2009, equipped with lift-u wheelchair lifts. The lifts are equipped with a logic board assembly for the wheelchair lift control box, p/nos. 373-0226 And 373-0265. The outboard ramp barrier could fold in toward a lift passenger possibly pinching the passenger's feet.
