Plain-English summary
Eldorado National-Kansas is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Aero Elite 300 and 320 vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between June 27, 2011, and June 9, 2016, and were built on Ford and Navistar chassis. The recall involves 320 units.
The defect involves the intermediate side lamps, which may not stay illuminated when the headlights are on. This failure means the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108. If the side marker lamps do not stay illuminated, the vehicle's visibility to other drivers decreases, which increases the risk of a crash.
Eldorado National will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the intermediate side lamps and replace them as necessary at no charge. The recall began on October 17, 2016. Owners can contact Eldorado National customer service at 1-800-955-4236 or by email at [email protected]. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
