Eldorado Passport Recall 15V716: Door actuator circuit board can overheat and cause fire

NHTSA campaign 15V716, reported October 29, 2015, 58 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2009-2010 Eldorado Passport buses built between April 2, 2009 and June 30, 2010 may have door actuators made by A&M Systems. Voltage spikes can damage electrical components and circuits, causing the actuator's circuit board to develop high resistance.

The high resistance can cause the circuit board to overheat, which increases the risk of a fire. If you own one of these buses, contact Eldorado National customer service at 1-909-591-9557 for more information. Eldorado National will notify owners, and the affected circuit boards will be replaced free of charge at an authorized dealer.

You can also check whether your vehicle has any open recalls by entering its VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup. Do not wait for a notice to arrive before checking, and contact the manufacturer if you have questions about your specific vehicle.
