What happened

PL Custom Emergency Vehicles is recalling certain 2019 Dodge RAM 5500 emergency vehicles equipped with LiquidSpring Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.).

According to the recall notice, dealers will inspect the rear brake caliper flexible lines for wear and install a kit to modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting at no charge. If necessary, dealers will also install a kit to replace worn brake lines. The record indicates all vehicles were repaired in October 2021.
