What this recall means for you
The intermediate side lamps on certain Aero Elite 300 and 320 buses may not stay illuminated when the headlights are switched on. This means the vehicle does not meet federal lighting requirements under FMVSS 108.
If the side marker lamps are not lit when the headlights are on, other drivers may have a harder time seeing the vehicle, especially at night or in poor weather. Reduced visibility increases the risk of a crash.
Owners should contact Eldorado National customer service at 1-800-955-4236 or [email protected]. The inspection and any needed replacement of the intermediate side lamps are free of charge at an authorized dealer. You can also check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
