Posted on: 2014-09-12

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.
Corrective Action
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.
