   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Eldorado National-California , Inc. (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 Axess and EZRM, 2011-2015 XHF, and 2014-2016 Arrivo vehicles equipped with certain Recaro Ergo-M Commercial Bus Driver Seats. The affected seats have J-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J-Bracket.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash increasing their risk of injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Eldorado will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seats to determine if welds are missing. Any J-Bracket that is missing welds will be removed and replaced, free of charge. The recall began on February 8, 2016. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-909-591-9557.

   Report filed by Eldorado National- California, Inc.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 8 Feb 2016.

   Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Eldorado National-California, Inc. (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 Axess, E-Z Rider II, and XHF vehicles manufactured July 1, 2007, to May 2, 2015, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Cummins has notified owners on behalf of Eldorado, and Cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ECM) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-909-591-9557 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.

   Report filed by Eldorado National- California, Inc.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 12 Jun 2015.

3. 12V274000Received 11 Jun 2012. 15 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Eldorado national – california (eldorado national) is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 passport, mst II, and xhf transit buses equipped with braun century-2 and/or vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned. 

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair’s occupant could fall and sustain injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Eldorado national will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during june 2012. Owners may contact eldorado national at 1-905-591-9557.

4. 10V119000Received 25 Mar 2010. 34 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Eldorado national - california has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2005-2010 transit buses fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Eldorado national - california is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The recall is expected to begin during may 2010. Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or by email at www.dmata@wabtec.com.

   Report filed by ELDORADO NATIONAL - CALIFORNIA, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 12 Apr 2010.
