    Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Eldorado national - kansas is recalling 4 my 2004-2005 aero elite transit buses built between april 12, 2004 and september 18, 2006. Certain hydraulic brake lines may contact the transmission dipstick tube as the engine rocks.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Continued contact between the brake line and the dipstick tube could abrade the brake line. This abrasion could cause the line to break and leak, resulting in a loss of brake fluid. A loss of brake fluid could reduce brake performance which could increase the risk of a crash without warning.

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Eldorado national (enk) is recalling 850 my 2005-2008 aero elite, aerolite, aerotech, and my 2006-2008 transtech buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts.

The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Enk is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or enk at 1-800-850-1287.
