What is wrong
Eldorado National-Kansas (Eldorado National) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Aero Elite 300 and 320 vehicles manufactured June 27, 2011, to June 9, 2016 and built on Ford and Navistar chassis. The intermediate side lamps may not stay illuminated when the headlights are on. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
What can happen
If the side marker lamps do not stay illuminated when the headlights are activated, it can decrease the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Eldorado National will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the intermediate side lamps, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 17, 2016. Owners may contact Eldorado National customer service at 1-800- 955-4236 or by email at bussupport@eldorado-bus.com.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
