- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Ram 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles. The rear brake hose inside diameter may be too small, which could cause the hose to rupture. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 106, "Brake Hoses."
- What it can cause
- A brake hose rupture can cause a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rear brake hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 27, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is ZA5.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 26,961 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ram vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 9 times before this, most recently in March 2022 as 22V140000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 26 complaints with NHTSA, 9 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the service brakes, hydraulic, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V035000 (visibility), 21V880000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V439000 (engine and engine cooling), 21V398000 (wheels).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on October 11, 2022 as campaign 22V759000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
