What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

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.

The risk

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 remedy

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.

Notes

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
