What this recall means for you
Certain Eldorado vehicles were built with Recaro Ergo-M bus driver seats whose J-Brackets may be missing welds. Because of this, the seat belt anchorage assembly could separate from the J-Bracket.
If the seat belt anchorage separates, the driver may not be properly restrained during a crash, which increases the risk of injury. Eldorado will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seats to check whether welds are missing. Any J-Bracket found to be missing welds will be removed and replaced free of charge.
