## What is wrong

Excellance, Inc \(Excellance\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 Excellance\-modified RAM 4500/5500 vehicles to be equipped with CLASS 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 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.


## The remedy

Excellance will notify owners, and dealers will install a kit to remedy any damage and to prevent any future damage, free of charge.  The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification.  Owners may contact Excellance customer service at 1\-800\-882\-9799.


## 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.
