Recall 06V-357: 2004 Eldorado Escort Fe
ELDORADO NATIONAL - CALIFORNIA, INC. recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Sep 20, 2006, covering about 1 vehicles.
The problem
On certain buses built on workhorse chassis and equipped with GM 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.
The risk
In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
The fix
Workhorse is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (Please see 06v225). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact workhorse at 877-294-6773 or thor at 937-596-6849.
