The problem
Dodgen Industries, Inc. (Dodgen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Born Free RV and Born Free Mobility RV vehicles manufactured from September 13, 2014, to December 22, 2014, and equipped with Liquid Spring-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 fix
Dodgen will notify owners, and dealers will install a new re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2015. Owners may contact Dodgen customer service at 1-515-332-3755 or LiquidSpring at 1-765-474-7816. Dodgen's number for this recall is 14E-034.
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.
