What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Eldorado National-Kansas (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 Amerivan 10 vehicles manufactured November 30, 2012, to May 20, 2016. Due to an improperly installed fuel line separator, the fuel line may rub against the engine cradle and cause a fuel leak.

The risk

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.

The remedy

Eldorado will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel line, and rework fuel line routing, free of charge. The recall began on September 7, 2016. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-913-392-2171.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
