2013 Turtle Top Odyssey XL recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Turtle Top is recalling certain model year 2013 Odyssey XL transit buses manufactured January 29, 2013, to July 9, 2013, built on Ford F-550 chassis, 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
Turtle Top customers were notified by LiquidSpring, and LiquidSpring dealers will install a new re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. Owners may contact Turtle Top customer service at 1-800-296-2105.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
