What's wrong?
The 2013 Eldorado Aero Elite uses a LiquidSpring aftermarket suspension kit with a fluid tank mounted to the vehicle frame. That tank stores suspension fluid for the kit, and the mounting bracket holds the tank in place while the vehicle moves, turns, and absorbs road impacts. The bracket has to carry the tank's weight and keep it secured to the frame.
On affected Aero Elite vehicles, the bracket that attaches the suspension fluid tank to the frame can fail. The recall identifies the bracket, not the tank itself, as the part that breaks loose. Once the bracket fails, the fluid tank can separate from the vehicle. LiquidSpring later supplied replacement instructions for a redesigned bracket face and attachment plate with a new part number.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall notice did not list a sound, light, handling change, or other owner-noticeable symptom before the bracket fails.
