What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (accelerator pedal spring) that can cause unintended acceleration, a condition explicitly associated with significant injury risk in the NHTSA rubric.

Plain-English summary

Eldorado National-California, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 Axess, E-Z Rider II, XHF, Escort RE-A, and Transmark RE vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between April 1, 2008, and December 30, 2008.

The recall addresses a defect in the mechanical springs used to return the accelerator pedal to idle. If these springs break, the pedal may not return to idle when the driver lifts their foot off the pedal. This condition can lead to unintended acceleration, which increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the affected pedal assemblies free of charge. The recall began on December 8, 2014. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-909-591-9557 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
