Nabi recall: Electrical system
What is wrong

The defroster switch may overheat and melt the dash.
What could happen
The overheating of the switch may lead to a fire or distract the driver and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
NABI will notify owners and will install relays to reduce the current flow. This will be done free of charge. Owners may contact NABI at 1-256-831-4296. NABI's campaign number is 20133.
