Brake Line Routing May Cause Wear and Fluid Leak

NHTSA #20V313000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic — Foundation Components — Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings · NHTSA notice

Reported May 28, 2020 · Frazer

Potentially affected: 76 vehicles

Repair completion: 51.32% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Owners notified June 10, 2020

Defect description

Frazer is recalling certain 2019-2020 emergency vehicles built on RAM 4500 and 5500 chassis, equipped with certain Compressible Liquid Adaptive Suspension Systems (C.L.A.S.S.), part numbers DS135RS3A, DS135RS3AF, DS135RS3-DM. 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.

Safety consequence

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.

Manufacturer remedy

Frazer will notify owners, and 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. This recall is expected to begin June 1, 2020. Owners may contact Frazer customer service at 1-888-372-9371.

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.

ODI #11730532

Incident: April 10, 2026 · Filed: April 11, 2026

They replaced a module. The night I picked up my vehicle from the Dodge dealership in Bessemer, Alabama, after the Door Control Module was replaced, the ABS and traction control lights activated. I called the shop the next morning, and they instructed me to continue driving they should go off. The lights went off briefly, but soon returned, prompting me to contact Fiat Chrysler corporate. When corporate directed me back to the dealership, the shop stated they could not see the vehicle for a significant period. I attempted to take the truck to other repair facilities, but they refused to work on it, stating they would not touch another shop's unresolved electrical issues. Operating a commercial vehicle while the transmission and braking systems receive invalid signals—especially after being told to keep driving and being unable to find a shop willing to fix the dealership's error—presents a severe safety risk. The truck is sending "invalid data" to the transmission, confirming a network communication failure that began exactly when the door module was installed. This conflict causes shorts in the ABS pumps and modules. Other Dodge dealerships will not touch the unresolved electrical problems. I demand that Fiat Chrysler resolve these recurring electrical failures i am spending alot of money repairing something that start after they did work to it. Even after i reported it to them. They have several tickets created for this issue. There was a recall for this same issue on other Ram trucks why it stopped with these i dont know.There are plenty Ram trucks that's dealing with this Abs issue. I have a 2018 Ram 3500 that has the recall but the fix is not available yet.This could be very dangerous.
