Summary:
Wheeled Coach Industries, Inc. "Wheeled Coach" is recalling certain model year 2014 emergency vehicles built on Dodge 4500 and Chevrolet CG33803 "G3500" chassis, and 2013-2015 emergency vehicles built on Ford F-450 chassis. 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. |
||
Consequence:
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. |
||
Remedy:
Wheeled Coach will notify owners, and LiquidSpring dealers will install a re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2014. Owners may contact Wheeled Coach customer service at 1-855-661-9232 or LiquidSpring customer service at 1-765-474-7816 extension 109. |
