    Eldorado will notify owners, and Ricon will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2015. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-785-827-1033, or Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884.

    Wheels

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Eldorado national - kansas is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 transtech buses. These vehicles were manufactured with an incorrect wheel well profile cutout.
