2004–2005 Eldorado Aero Elite recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Eldorado national - kansas is recalling 4 my 2004-2005 Aero Elite transit buses built between april 12, 2004 and september 18, 2006. Certain hydraulic brake lines may contact the transmission dipstick tube as the engine rocks.

💥 The risk

Continued contact between the brake line and the dipstick tube could abrade the brake line. This abrasion could cause the line to break and leak, resulting in a loss of brake fluid. A loss of brake fluid could reduce brake performance which could increase the risk of a crash without warning.
