The problem
Eldorado national - kansas (enk) is recalling 730 my 2008-2009 aero elite, aerolite, aerotech, transtech, and versa shuttle buses. Some buses were built with driveline fasteners that may have been improperly torqued during assembly.
The risk
If not tightened properly, the fasteners could come loose and cause loss of vehicle control, possibly causing a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the buses and if the torque values for the driveline fasteners are found to be out of tolerance, the fasteners will be adjusted to bring their torque value into the recommended tolerance range. The safety recall began on march 26, 2009. Owners may contact enk at 1-800-850-1287.
