What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (door actuator) that explicitly increases the risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Eldorado National-California, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Passport buses manufactured between April 2, 2009, and June 30, 2010. The recall affects vehicles equipped with A&M Systems-brand door actuators.

Voltage spikes may damage electrical components and circuits, causing the actuator's circuit board to develop high resistance. This high resistance may cause the board to overheat, which increases the risk of a fire.

Eldorado National will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected circuit boards free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2015. Owners may contact Eldorado National customer service at 1-909-591-9557 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
