What happened

Ameritrans Bus, Inc. is recalling certain 2013-2014 F330 transit buses built on F550 chassis and 2013 R330 transit buses built on Ram 5500 chassis equipped with LiquidSpring-brand aftermarket suspension kits. The mounting bracket that attaches the suspension fluid tank to the frame may fracture, causing the tank to separate from the vehicle and become a road hazard, which could increase the risk of a crash.

Ameritrans will notify owners, and LiquidSpring will install a re-designed bracket at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ameritrans customer service at 1-574-262-8935 or LiquidSpring at 1-765-474-7816 to arrange for the repair.
