High resistance may cause the board to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Eldorado will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the door header and replace any defective circuit board, free of charge. The safety recall began on November 4, 2013. Owners may contact Eldorado at 1-574-522-5000 ext. 15.
