The defect
Luxe Trucks dba Utility Bodywerks (Utility Bodywerks) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Ram 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles. The rear brake caliper flexible lines may have been improperly routed, which could allow chafing 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 remedy
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 letters were mailed on June 30, 2022. Owners may contact Utility Bodywerks' customer service at 1-574-522-8422.
