What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fuel system defect that can lead to a fire, which meets the rubric criteria for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural vehicle defects involving fire risk.

Plain-English summary

Eldorado Mobility Inc. is recalling certain 2010-2017 Amerivan vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the crimp fasteners that secure the fuel line connectors may not be fully crimped, which allows fuel to leak.

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. This recall supersedes a previous campaign (16V222), and any vehicle previously repaired under that earlier campaign needs to be remedied again under this new one.

Eldorado Mobility will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel lines free of charge. The recall began on December 5, 2017. Owners may contact Eldorado Mobility customer service at 1-800-955-9086 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
