Halcore Group, Inc. "Halcore" is recalling certain model year 2014 Horton ambulances, models 403, 453, 457, 603, and 623 manufactured February 1, 2014, and August 31, 2014, and equipped with Liquid Spring-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, and Halcore dealers will install a re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Halcore customer service at 1-614-539-8181. Owners may also contact Liquid Spring customer service at 1-765-474-7816 extension 109.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
