## What is wrong

Braun Northwest \(Braun Northwest\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 RAM 4500/5500 vehicles equipped with Liquid Spring rear suspension systems.  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.


## What can happen

A worn rear brake line may leak fluid, resulting in a partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Braun Northwest will notify owners, and dealers will install a repair kit to each rear caliper and modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting.  Any worn rear brake caliper flexible lines will be replaced as needed, free of charge.  The recall began June 8, 2020.  Owners may contact Braun Northwest customer service at 1\-360\-748\-0195.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
