PL Custom Emergency Vehicles reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 24, 2021 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 4. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
PL Custom Emergency Vehicles (PL Custom) is recalling certain 2019 Dodge RAM 5500 emergency vehicles equipped with the LiquidSpring Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.). 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. As such, these parts fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."
The risk
A brake fluid leak may cause partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect the rear brake caliper flexible lines for wear and install a kit to modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting, and if necessary, a kit to replace worn brake lines, free of charge. All vehicles were repaired October 2021. Owners may contact PL Custom's customer service at 1-732-223-1411.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 21V657000.
