Description
Eldorado National is recalling certain model year 2011 Axess and EZ Rider II Max buses, manufactured between October 1, 2010 and October 31, 2010 and equipped with Ricon 3-Minute Urban Transit Bus egress window sets. The composition of the material used to cast the handle that opens the egress window is incorrect, resulting in a reduction in material strength. The handle(s) on the emergency egress passenger windows may break before the window latch is released.
What to do
Eldorado National will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective handles, free of charge. The recall began on November 16, 2012. Owners may contact Eldorado National at 1-937-596-7965 for more information.
