What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Eldorado National-California, Inc. (Eldorado National) is recalling certain 2015 35-foot and 40-foot Axess transit buses. The front suspension link rod clamps may not be properly torqued, allowing the link rod to loosen.

The risk

A loose link rod can decrease steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Eldorado National will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the clamp for proper torque, installing new bolts as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 7, 2017. Owners may contact Eldorado National customer service at 1-909-591-9557.

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.
