What's wrong
Life Line Emergency Vehicles (Life Line) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Dodge 5500 vehicles. The rear brake caliper flexible line may have been improperly routed, which could allow it to chafe against suspension components, and result in a brake fluid leak.
The risk
A brake fluid leak can cause a loss of brakes and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting, and replace the rear brake caliper flexible line as needed, free of charge. Owner notification was mailed on May 13, 2020. Owners may contact Life Line customer service at 1-563-578-3317 ext. 132.
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.nhtsa.gov.
