Transport Canada recalls
02- Engine#2011311
7 units affected
On certain buses equipped with a Cummins engine, the V-band clamps used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) / Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) include a T-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. A fracture or failure of the T-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the DOC/DPF housing to disconnect. Should this occur, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating a risk of combustion or damage to adjacent materials, which could result in a vehicle fire. If both clamps fail, the DOC/DPF housing could detach completely, separate from the vehicle, and strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Cummins will install updated V-band clamps.
- Steering#2010398
214 units affected
Certain vehicles were manufactured with a defective steering drag link. The drag links involved in this recall are not of sufficient strength for the duty cycle in which they are operating. The drag links have exhibited fatigue failure at the rear adjustment point. A drag link failure could result in loss of control of the vehicle resulting in a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the affected drag links.

02- ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE#15V316000
Eldorado National-California, Inc. (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 Axess, E-Z Rider II, and XHF vehicles manufactured July 1, 2007, to May 2, 2015, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
Risk: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Cummins has notified owners on behalf of Eldorado, and Cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ECM) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact Eldorado customer service at 1-909-591-9557 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357.
- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM#14V030000
Eldorado National (California), Inc. (Eldorado) is recalling certain model year 2005-2012 Axess, 2006-2013 E-Z Rider II and 2013 Passport buses equipped with Sure Power-brand battery equalizers or DC-DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
Risk: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Eldorado will notify owners, and dealers will replace the equalizers or converters, free of charge. The recall began on February 15, 2014. Owners may contact Eldorado at 1-909-591-9557. Eldorado's number for this recall is EQ-14-002.
