Dodgen Recalls 2014-2015 RVs for Suspension Tank Bracket Failure Risk

Dodgen is recalling 2014-2015 Born Free RVs equipped with Liquid Spring suspension kits because a mounting bracket may fail, causing the fluid tank to separate and create 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 from the chassis, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.
