Recalled Vehicles:
2007 Eldorado Transtech; 2008 Eldorado Transtech; 2009 Eldorado Transtech; 2010 Eldorado Transtech
Component: Wheel
Manufactured by: El Dorado R. V. Inc.
Affected Units:: 246
Recall Summary:
Eldorado national - kansas is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 transtech buses. These vehicles were manufactured with an incorrect wheel well profile cutout. The smaller profile results in a reduced clearance between the wheel well rubber molding attachment screws and the bus' tires. The attachment screws could rub against the bus' tires resulting in a tire failure.
How to Fix:
Dealers will inspect the vehicles to ensure they have the correct rear wheel well profile. If a bus is found to have the incorrect profile, the wheel well opening will be cut to the correct profile to ensure proper clearance to the tire. Additionally, new fasteners will be installed attaching the wheel well rubber molding. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on August 23, 2010. Owners may contact eldorado national- kansas at 1-800-955-9086.
