- Summary
- Eldorado national - california (enc) is recalling 21 my 2005-2007 mst, mst II and transmark buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts manufactured from April 2005 to June 2007. The lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift system accessible for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
- Consequence
- A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
- Remedy
- Enc is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lift (please see 07E097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884OR enc at 1-937-596-6849.

Has your Eldorado been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Eldorado dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
