Eldorado National-California, Inc. (ENC) is recalling certain 2012-2023 XHF and Arrivo vehicles equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift. The red beacon lighting on the threshold warning system (TWS) may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
Safety risk
Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
Manufacturer remedy
ENC will work with Ricon to replace the TWS kits, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 4, 2024. Owners may contact ENC customer service at 1-951-684-6868.
Eldorado National-California, Inc is recalling certain 2017-2018 Arrivo, EZR Max BRT and Passport buses. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Safety risk
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
Manufacturer remedy
Eldorado National California has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the affected seats, free of charge. The recall began on January 31, 2019. Owners may contact Eldorado National-California Customer Service at 1-909-591-9557 or Freedman Seating Company at 1-800-443-4540.
