What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Eldorado Mobility Inc. (Eldorado Mobility) is recalling certain 2010-2017 Amerivan vehicles. The crimp fasteners that secure the fuel line connectors may not be fully crimped, allowing fuel to leak.

The risk

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Eldorado Mobility will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel lines, free of charge. Owners may contact Eldorado Mobility customer service at 1-800-955-9086. Note: This recall supersedes recall 16V222. The recall began on December 5, 2017. Any vehicle previously repaired under that campaign, needs to be remedied again under this campaign.

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.
