Defect: Ameritrans Bus, Inc. (Ameritrans) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 F330 transit buses built on F550 chassis manufactured May 23, 2013, to March 19, 2014 and 2013 R330 transit buses built on Ram 5500 chassis manufactured September 1, 2014, to October 31, 2014. 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.
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.
Fix: Ameritrans will notify owners, and LiquidSpring will install a re-designed bracket, free of charge. The recall began on December 22, 2014. Owners may contact Ameritrans customer service at 1-574-262-8935 or LiquidSpring at 1-765-474-7816.
