What's wrong?
The Liquid Spring suspension on the 2014-2015 Dodgen Born Free and Born Free Mobility uses a fluid tank mounted to the frame. That tank is part of the aftermarket suspension kit, and the mounting bracket holds the tank in place while the suspension carries load and controls ride motion.
On affected RVs, the bracket that supports the suspension fluid tank can fatigue under application load conditions. Severe duty service raises the stress on that bracket, allowing cracks to start and grow until the bracket fully fractures. When that happens, the bracket no longer supports the tank at that frame location, and the tank can separate from the vehicle.
The warning sign is a fracture found during inspection before the bracket breaks completely. If a crack is found, the tank support has already started to fail.

What's the safety risk?
A fractured suspension fluid tank mount can let the tank separate from the chassis and become a road hazard, increasing crash risk for road users. Bracket cracks can be found before complete fracture, so treat any suspension fluid tank mount damage as a reason to schedule service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Dodgen dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 Dodgen Born Free or Born Free Mobility is included in this recall.
- Call Dodgen customer service at 1-515-332-3755 to confirm repair status for your VIN before scheduling.
- Contact a franchised Dodgen dealer for the free redesigned bracket repair that keeps the suspension fluid tank attached to the frame.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 14V826 when you call.
- Avoid driving with any loose or leaking suspension-fluid-tank hardware until the bracket repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
The dealer remedy is a redesigned bracket for the LiquidSpring suspension fluid tank mounting point. Once the repair is available, a Dodgen technician installs the new bracket that secures the fluid tank to the vehicle frame. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Ask the service desk to confirm that the bracket kit for recall 14V826 is ready before arranging the visit, since the source record does not give a current repair status.
