💥 Crash riskNHTSA 14V642📅 Oct 10, 2014

2013–2015 Wheeled Coach Type I Ambulance & 2013–2015 Wheeled Coach Type III Ambulance recall: suspension

⚠️ What's wrong

Wheeled Coach Industries, Inc. (Wheeled Coach) is recalling certain model year 2014 emergency vehicles built on Dodge 4500 and Chevrolet CG33803 (G3500) chassis, and 2013-2015 emergency vehicles built on Ford F-450 chassis. The affected vehicles are equipped with LiquidSpring-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

Wheeled Coach will notify owners, and LiquidSpring dealers will install a re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2014. Owners may contact Wheeled Coach customer service at 1-855-661-9232 or LiquidSpring customer service at 1-765-474-7816 extension 109.

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.)
