Eldorado Mobility Amerivan Recall 17V649: Fuel Line Connectors May Leak, Creating Fire Risk

NHTSA campaign 17V649, reported October 13, 2017, 6,145 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some 2010-2017 Amerivan vehicles may have fuel line connectors whose crimp fasteners were not fully crimped. Over time, this can allow fuel to leak from the fuel system.

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. Owners should take this recall seriously and have their vehicle checked promptly.

The repair is free. Dealers will replace the fuel lines at no charge. Owners can also contact Eldorado Mobility customer service at 1-800-955-9086. This recall supersedes recall 16V222, so vehicles previously repaired under that campaign must be remedied again under this one. Check your VIN for open recalls to confirm your vehicle's status.
