Recall 09V-265: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Eldorado national - kansas is recalling 4 my 2004-2005 aero elite transit buses built between april 12, 2004 and september 18, 2006. Certain hydraulic brake lines may contact the transmission dipstick tube as the engine rocks.
Risk: Continued contact between the brake line and the dipstick tube could abrade the brake line. This abrasion could cause the line to break and leak, resulting in a loss of brake fluid. A loss of brake fluid could reduce brake performance which could increase the risk of a crash without warning.

Problem: Eldorado national (Enk) is recalling 850 my 2005-2008 aero elite, aerolite, aerotech, and my 2006-2008 transtech buses equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts.
