2008–2010 Eldorado Aero Elite & 2008–2010 Eldorado Aerolite + 3 more recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Eldorado national is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Aero Elite, Aerolite, Aerotech, Transtech, and Versa Shuttle motorhomes fitted with ricon public use lifts. The wheelchair lifts were to be equipped with a restraint buckle that has an interlock feature designed to prevent the lift from operating if the buckle is not latched. In the recalled motorhomes, however, the interlock feature may not operate properly and the lift may operate even when the buckle is not latched.

💥 The risk

The wheelchair may move during lift operation and the unsecured occupant, could be injured.
