- Summary
- 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.

Has your Ameritrans been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Ameritrans dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
