The short answer

NHTSA received LiquidSpring LLC’s report on Jul 2, 2014. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

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.

LiquidSpring LLC (Liquid Spring) is recalling certain aftermarket CLASS DS96F-A, DS96F-M and DS96F-MC suspensions for Ford E-450 chassis; DS120F-A and DS120F-A10 suspensions for Ford F-450 chassis; DS137F-A and DS137F-A10 suspensions for Ford F-550 chassis with 18,000lb GVWR; DS147F-B2 suspensions for Ford F-550 chassis with 19,500lb GVWR; and DS96GM-AR, DS96GM-AR12, DS96GM-AM and DS96GM-MR suspensions for Chevrolet G3500/4500 chassis.

The mounting bracket that attaches the suspension fluid tank to the frame may fail allowing the fluid tank to separate from the vehicle.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
