Liquid Spring recall: Suspension

What is wrong

LiquidSpring LLC (Liquid Spring) is recalling certain aftermarket CLASS DS96F-A, DS96F-M and DS96F-MC suspensions for Ford E-450 chassis; DS120F-A and DS120F-A10 suspensions for Ford F-450 chassis; DS137F-A and DS137F-A10 suspensions for Ford F-550 chassis with 18,000lb GVWR; DS147F-B2 suspensions for Ford F-550 chassis with 19,500lb GVWR; and DS96GM-AR, DS96GM-AR12, DS96GM-AM and DS96GM-MR suspensions for Chevrolet G3500/4500 chassis. The mounting bracket that attaches the suspension fluid tank to the frame may fail allowing the fluid tank to separate from the vehicle.

What could happen

If the suspension fluid tank mount fractures and the tank separates from the chassis, the tank may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Liquid Spring will notify owners, and dealers will install a new re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact Liquid Spring customer service at 1-765-474-7816 extension 109.
