What happened

Eldorado National-Kansas is recalling certain 2016 Advantage and Aerotech transit buses built on a Ford chassis that were manufactured between January 15 and January 29, 2016. The seats in these vehicles may separate from the base frame due to bolt failure during a crash, which increases the risk of injury to occupants and violates federal safety standards for bus passenger seating.

Owners who have affected vehicles should contact Freedman Seating Company at 1-773-524-2440 or Eldorado customer service at 1-800-955-9086. Eldorado will replace the seats free of charge at authorized dealers, with the recall having begun on June 6, 2016.
