Defect
Eldorado national is recalling 115 my 2007-2008 aero elite buses built on general motors 560 chassis and equipped with intermotive gateway 401 module interlock harness. These buses have been found to exhibit extreme voltage spikes during engine cranking. These extreme spikes can damage the diode in the harness near the shift lock solenoid connector. If the diode fails in the shorted condition, the gateway 401 module can be damaged.
Safety risk
If this occurs, the shift lock solenoid may not engage. If this lock does not engage, the vehicle will have the ability to move while the wheelchair lift is deployed which may result in personal injury.
Remedy
Intermotive is handling the remedy for this campaign (please see 08e004). Intermotive will replace the defective harness free of charge. Owners may contact intermotive at 1-800-969-6080 or eldorado national at 800-850-1287.
