Defect
PL Custom Emergency Vehicles (PL Custom) is recalling certain 2019 Dodge RAM 5500 emergency vehicles equipped with the LiquidSpring Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.). In the affected suspension systems, the rear brake caliper flexible line may have been routed so that it contacts a suspension component, possibly causing excessive wear and a loss of rear brakes. As such, these parts fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."
Safety risk
A brake fluid leak may cause partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the rear brake caliper flexible lines for wear and install a kit to modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting, and if necessary, a kit to replace worn brake lines, free of charge. All vehicles were repaired October 2021. Owners may contact PL Custom's customer service at 1-732-223-1411.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
