SUSPENSION Safety Recalls

High Priority #20E031000 Plain English
Component

SUSPENSION:REAR

Manufacturer
LiquidSpring LLC
What Happened
The rear brake caliper flexible line in your vehicle is a critical part that helps keep your brakes working properly. In some 2019-2020 RAM 4500 and 5500 models, this line might be damaged because of a design issue with the Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension System.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flexible line wears down, brake fluid could leak, and you might lose rear brakes suddenly while driving. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the flexible line and install a modification kit if needed, or replace the worn line if necessary, all at no cost to you. You should contact your dealer now to confirm repair availability and schedule the repair.

Original — What Happened
LiquidSpring LLC (LiquidSpring) is recalling certain Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.), part numbers DS135RS3A, DS135RS3AF, DS135RS3-DM, sold for use with 2019-2020 RAM 4500 and 5500 vehicles. 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."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A worn rear brake caliper flexible line may cause brake fluid leakage which may result in a partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
LiquidSpring has notified the purchasers, and the affected vehicle manufacturers will file recalls to have their dealers 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. The recall May 13, 2020. Owners may contact LiquidSpring customer service at 1-765-474-7816, extension 1.
