Eldorado is recalling 246 2007-2010 Transtech buses because an incorrect wheel well cutout leaves too little clearance between the rubber molding screws and the tires.

What's wrong?
The wheel well on 2007-2010 Eldorado Transtech buses is the opening around each tire. Its cutout gives the tire room to turn, flex, and move through suspension travel without contacting the bus body or the rubber molding hardware. The rubber molding attachment screws are supposed to sit clear of the tire sidewall and tread area.
On affected Transtech buses, the wheel well profile was cut too small. That reduced the clearance between the tires and the screws that hold the rubber molding in place. As the bus moves, those screws can rub the tires. Continued rubbing wears or cuts the tire until tire failure occurs.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver or maintenance tech should treat visible tire scuffing, cuts, or contact marks near the wheel well as a sign that the clearance problem is already present.

What happens at the repair
The filed remedy began on August 23, 2010. At the dealer, an Eldorado technician inspects the rear wheel well profile to confirm there is enough clearance between the wheel well rubber molding fasteners and the tire. If the opening has the incorrect profile, the technician cuts the wheel well opening to the correct shape and installs new fasteners for the rubber molding. The dealer repair is free once available.
