Defect description

ElDorado National-Kansas (ElDorado) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Amerivan 10 vehicles manufactured November 2, 2012, to April 8, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the upper rear shock absorber mounting bracket and the upper end of the shock absorber may separate from the chassis, possibly causing damage to the heater hose or the fuel filler hose.

Safety risk

If the loose rear shock absorber damages the fuel filler hose, fuel may leak and increase the risk of a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

ElDorado will notify owners, and dealers will replace the mounting bracket with a revised bracket that will be welded to the vehicle chassis. A suspension strap will also be added. These repairs will be made free of charge. The recall began on June 22, 2015. Owners may contact ElDorado National-Kansas customer service at 1-785-827-1033.
