Defect Summary:
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.

Consequence Summary:
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.

Corrective Summary:
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.
