Eldorado is recalling 2009-2010 Passport, MST II, and XHF transit buses because wheelchair lift roll stop latches may bend, risking occupant falls.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where a wheelchair occupant could fall and sustain injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Eldorado National - California, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 Passport, MST II, and XHF transit buses. The recall involves vehicles 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. If a wheelchair occupant defeats or rides over the insufficiently latched roll stop while the lift platform is in an elevated position, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.

Eldorado National will notify owners, and authorized Braun dealers will perform the repairs free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during June 2012. Owners may contact Eldorado National at 1-905-591-9557 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
