Defect Description

Safety Consequence
The improperly tightened banjo bolts may result in a partial or complete loss of rear brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Horton will notify owners, and LiquidSpring dealers will replace the rear brake banjo bolts, free of charge. The recall began on March 7, 2017. Owners may contact LiquidSpring customer service at 1-765-474-7816, extension 1, or at [email protected] or Horton customer service at 1-614-534-8181.
