What NHTSA recorded

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.

Possible consequence

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.
