What are the defects?
On some RAM 2500 and RAM 3500 vehicles, the heater hose may not be securely mounted, which will address a possible friction point, causing wear to the brake pipe assembly.
What are the hazards?
It is possible that this could cause a leak in the braking system and loss of brake pedal performance. The loss of braking performance may result in the loss of control of the vehicle, posing an accident risk for the vehicle occupants and other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by mail and are advised to contact their local authorised RAM Truck dealer, who will inspect and rectify the vehicle.
For further information, consumers should contact RAM Trucks Customer Assist on the toll-free number 1300 681 792.
