Manufacturer

What Happened
The rear brake caliper flexible line in your 4500 or 5500 is a critical safety component that helps control your vehicle's rear brakes. In some cases, it might be misrouted and wear down faster.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flexible line wears down, you could lose some or all of your rear brakes. This means you might feel the vehicle pulling or swaying when you hit the brakes, and it increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will fix the issue by rerouting the flexible line and replacing it if necessary, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.

SUSPENSION:REAR

Manufacturer
LiquidSpring LLC
What Happened
The rear suspension system in your RAM truck has a flexible line that connects the brake caliper to the rest of the brake system. In some cases, this line might be rubbing against a suspension component, which could cause it to wear out faster than it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flexible line wears out, brake fluid could leak out, causing your rear brakes to fail. This could lead to a loss of control or a crash, especially when you're driving at high speeds or on rough roads.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the flexible line and modify the brake caliper mounting to prevent future wear. If the line is already worn, they'll replace it for you, and these repairs are completely free.
