Brake Line Routing May Cause Wear and Fluid Leak

A worn rear brake caliper flexible line may cause brake fluideBay leakage which may result in a partial or complete loss of the rear brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V313

Manufacturer Frazer

Components SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Number of Units Affected 76

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.

 

Remedy

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

Important Safety Recall

NHTSA Recall Number: 20V-313

Date: June 10, 2020

Subject: LiquidSpring Safety Recall – RAMeBay Rear Brake Caliper Flexible Line Modification Safety Recall Notice

 

Dear Frazer Customer,

This notice is being sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Highway Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Frazer, Ltd. has been notified by LiquidSpring LLC, the manufacturer of a chassis suspension system, that certain kits/components are subject to a safety recall. The recall affects LiquidSpring suspension systems installed on 2019-2020 model year RAMeBay 4500/5500 chassis.

Per LiquidSpring NHTSA Safety Recall 20E031 the affected system components are the rear brake caliper flex lines. The routing of the rear brake caliper flexible lines during the installation of the suspension kit may be causing brake caliper flexible line wear due to contact with a suspension component(s). Continued vehicle use with the rear brake caliper flexible line contacting a suspension component(s) may result in partial or complete loss of rear service brakes which could cause damage to the chassis and/or other vehicles, and possibly result in a crash.

Frazer, Ltd. was provided with a list of affected serial numbers. You are receiving this notice because our records indicate your vehicle may be equipped with an affected system. Frazer, Ltd. recommends that the affected vehicle(s) be inspected immediately for signs of premature wear on the rear brake caliper flexible hoses and if found, arrange for repair immediately. Even if no signs of wear are found upon inspection, Frazer, Ltd. recommends that the recalled components are repaired/replaced per the attached LiquidSpring recall campaign notice.

 

If you have a 2019-2020 model year RAMeBay 4500/5500 chassis equipped with a LiquidSpring suspension system with serial number within the 2007563 – 2013191 range, it is recommended that you contact LiquidSpring directly to arrange service to have the rear caliper flexible brake lines repaired and modified, free of charge. Affected customers may also bring their vehicles to any Frazer authorized service facility for warranty repair work.

The LiquidSpring contact information is as follows:

Phone: 765-474-7816 Ext. 1 for Customer Service – 8:00 am – 5:00 pm EDT Email: service@liquidspring.com please reference recall 20E031

The Frazer, Ltd. contact information is as follows:

Phone: 1-888-372-9371 and ask for service – 7:00 am – 4:30 pm CDT Email: service@frazerbilt.com

If Frazer, Ltd. fails or is unable to arrange service as described above without charge, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, S.E., Washington, DC 20590 or call toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153); or go to www.safecar.gov.
