What is wrong
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."
What can happen
A brake fluid leak may cause partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
