Defect. Eldorado National-California, Inc. (Eldorado National) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Passport HD vehicles manufactured May 1, 2012, to June 30, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the power cable that connects the starter motor to the alternator may chafe on the auxiliary air conditioning compressor bracket.

Risk. If the wire chafes, the wire may short to ground, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy. ElDorado National has notified owners, and dealers will inspect & secure the wires to protect them from rubbing on the compressor bracket. Any wire that is damaged will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on May 15, 2015. Owner's may contact Eldorado National customer service at 1-909-591-9557.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
