What This Recall Means

Component

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

What Happened
The brake hoses in your RAM 4500 or 5500 cab chassis truck are the tubes that connect the brake master cylinder to the brake system. They might not have a protective coating, which could let corrosion damage them.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake hoses corrode, brake fluid could leak out, causing your brakes to fail. This means you might not be able to stop your truck in time, increasing the risk of a serious crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the brake hoses and replace them if they're damaged, all at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
