Defect:
Eldorado national - kansas (enk) is recalling 1,258 my 2005-2008 aero elitte aerolite, aerotech, versa shuttle, and my 2006-2008 transtech buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. these buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
