Halcore Group, Inc. "Halcore" is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 AEV Type 1 F-series manufactured January 1, 2013, to July 31, 2014. The affected vehicles are equipped with LiquidSpring-brand aftermarket suspension kits. The mounting bracket that attaches the suspension fluid tank to the frame may fail, allowing the fluid tank to separate from the vehicle.
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.
Halcore will notify owners, LiquidSpring will install a re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2014. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-614-539-8181 or LiquidSpring at 1-765-474-7816.
