Recall 16V584 covers 16 2016 Eldorado E-Z Rider Ii buses for front wheel clearance that can damage tires. Free repair at any franchised Eldorado dealer.
Eldorado is recalling 16 2016 E-Z Rider Ii transit buses because the front steel rims leave too little clearance between the front tires and the outer ends of the front tie-rods. If tie-rods touch the front tires, the tires can be damaged and suddenly lose air, increasing crash risk; Eldorado dealers will complete the repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The front steel rim on a 2016 Eldorado E-Z Rider Ii transit bus holds the tire in position on the front axle. The tie rod is part of the steering linkage, and it helps turn the front wheels when the driver moves the steering wheel. These parts need clear space between them so the tire sidewall does not touch the steering hardware.
On affected buses, that clearance is too tight at the front wheels. The inside sidewall of the front tire contacts the outer end of the tie rod in certain steering positions. That rubbing leaves marks on the tire and wears an area of the tire that is supposed to stay clear of metal contact.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver is not given a dashboard alert or steering message tied to this problem, so tire and front steering clearance need a physical inspection.

What's the safety risk?
If the tie-rods contact the front tires, the tires can be damaged and suddenly lose air, increasing crash risk.

Repair is free at any franchised Eldorado dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016 Eldorado E-Z Rider Ii is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Eldorado dealer to schedule the free steel-wheel replacement that gives the front tires enough clearance from the tie rods.
- Bring the recall notice if Eldorado mailed one, or reference recall number 16V584 when you call.
- Inspect the front tires before service and stop using the bus if a tire is damaged or loses air before the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Eldorado technician replaces the front steel wheels with new Accuride 22.5" x 7.50" part number 29001 steel wheels that provide adequate tie-rod clearance. The wheel replacement is free under the recall. Eldorado's reimbursement plan also covers the expense of having all wheels changed on each affected vehicle, coordinated through Eldorado. If you already paid for wheel replacement or related labor, gather your repair invoice and payment records and contact Eldorado customer service at 1-909-591-9557 to claim the covered expense.
