LiquidSpring Recalls Aftermarket Suspensions for Ford and Chevrolet Chassis

LiquidSpring is recalling specific aftermarket suspension units for Ford and Chevrolet chassis because a mounting bracket may fail, allowing the fluid tank to separate and become a road hazard.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component may separate and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

LiquidSpring LLC is recalling certain aftermarket suspension units for Ford E-450, F-450, and F-550 chassis, as well as Chevrolet G3500/4500 chassis. The affected models include CLASS DS96F-A, DS96F-M, DS96F-MC, DS120F-A, DS120F-A10, DS137F-A, DS137F-A10, DS147F-B2, DS96GM-AR, DS96GM-AR12, DS96GM-AM, and DS96GM-MR suspensions.

The recall is due to a defect in the mounting bracket that attaches the suspension fluid tank to the vehicle frame. If the bracket fails, the fluid tank may separate from the vehicle. A separated tank can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
