Rollx Wheelchair Vans: Restraints May Not Lock Wheelchair high

Reported 2025-12-17 · Campaign 25V876000 · Model years: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025

These are vans converted by Rollx for wheelchair use. The straps that hold a wheelchair use retractors, which work like a seat belt: they pull in slack and then lock so the chair cannot roll. On these vans, the QRT-Deluxe and QRT-Max retractors may fail to lock. If they do not lock, the wheelchair and the person in it can shift or slide while the van is moving, which raises the risk of injury. Rollx and the restraint maker will check the retractors and replace them if needed.

Ram ProMaster radiator fan wiring can overheat and catch fire critical

Reported 2025-10-23 · Campaign 25V720000 · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025

The wiring that powers the radiator cooling fan can get too hot. That overheating can damage the circuit and start a fire under the hood, even while you are just driving normally. The free fix replaces the cooling fan module and its fuse, and the dealer adds a label for the fuse box plus an insert for your owner's manual. Chrysler has been mailing letters in groups, with the last ones expected in July 2026.

Electric Ram ProMaster vans can lose drive power high

Reported 2025-10-06 · Campaign 25V665000 · Model years: 2024, 2025

This covers the battery electric versions of the ProMaster van. The software that controls the electric drive unit may not manage power to the wheels properly, and the van can lose drive power. If that happens while you are pulling into traffic, climbing a hill or merging onto a highway, the van may slow or stop moving when you expect it to go. Dealers will reload the software in several control computers and, if needed, replace the electric drive unit.

Ram ProMaster and Dodge Journey backup camera may fail medium

Reported 2025-08-26 · Campaign 25V552000 · Model years: 2019, 2020, 2021

A tiny computer chip inside the backup camera can crack. When it does, the picture behind the vehicle may not show up properly on the screen as you reverse, so you could miss a person or object behind you. Chrysler will replace the camera at no cost, but the parts are not ready yet. The letter mailed September 30, 2025 is only a warning; a second letter with the actual fix is expected around July 2026.

Ram ProMaster backup camera image may not display medium

Reported 2025-05-21 · Campaign 25V330000 · Model years: 2022, 2024, 2025

A software error in one of the van's control modules can stop the backup camera picture from appearing on the screen when you shift into reverse. Without that view you cannot see a child, a person, or an object right behind the van, and a large cargo van is already hard to see out of from the driver's seat. This also fails a federal rear visibility rule. Dealers will fix it with a free software update, and owner letters were mailed in June 2025.

Jeep, Ram, Chrysler backup camera may show nothing medium

Reported 2024-06-13 · Campaign 24V436000 · Model years: 2022, 2023

The radio software in these vehicles can keep the backup camera picture from appearing at all. When you shift into reverse, the screen may not show what is behind you, so you cannot see a child, a person, or an object in the vehicle's path while backing up. That makes it much easier to hit something you never saw. The repair is a software update for the radio, done at the dealer or sent to the vehicle wirelessly.

Ram ProMaster vans missing a side door beam high

Reported 2024-06-06 · Campaign 24V416000 · Model years: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024

These vans were built without a steel beam inside one of the side doors. That beam is what helps protect people inside if another vehicle hits the van from the side. The sticker on the door frame also lists the wrong number of seats, so the van could end up loaded with more people than it should carry. Dealers will install the missing door beam and put a corrected label over the old one, free.

Ram ProMaster loose ground may disable stability control medium

Reported 2024-04-25 · Campaign 24V290000 · Model years: 2021

Some 2021 Ram ProMaster vans left the factory with a loose electrical ground connection. That loose connection can shut off the electronic stability control, the system that senses when the van is starting to skid or slide in a turn and quietly brakes individual wheels to keep it pointed where you are steering. Without it, the van handles like an older vehicle with no such help, and it is easier to lose control on a slippery or sudden maneuver. Chrysler says all affected vans have been repaired.

Ram ProMaster left taillight and turn signal quit medium

Reported 2024-03-14 · Campaign 24V197000 · Model years: 2021, 2022

A wiring connection in these vans can be poor, and when it is, the left taillight and the left turn signal stop working. Other drivers then cannot see that you are turning left, and at night or in bad weather your van is harder to see from behind. Both make a crash more likely, especially in traffic. A dealer will inspect the wiring harness and replace it if needed, free. You may not notice a rear light is out from the driver's seat.

Ram ProMaster driver seat belt warning may not work low

Reported 2024-02-22 · Campaign 24V129000 · Model years: 2022, 2023

On certain Ram ProMaster vans, the light and chime that remind the driver to buckle up may not come on. The part inside the driver's seat belt buckle that tells the van whether the belt is fastened can fail, so you get no reminder at all. Because of this, the van does not meet the federal rule for protecting people in a crash. A dealer will check the buckle and replace it if needed, at no cost.

Ram ProMaster may roll away despite being in Park high

Reported 2023-04-27 · Campaign 23V301000 · Model years: 2019, 2020, 2021

Debris inside the transmission can stop the parking latch from fully locking when you put the van in Park. If it is only partly engaged, the van can roll away after you walk away from it. This affects certain Ram ProMaster vans with the 62TE transmission. A dealer will update the transmission software and inspect the transmission, replacing it or parts inside it if needed, at no cost to you. Owner letters were mailed in June 2023.

Ram ProMaster shipped with wrong rearview camera type medium

Reported 2022-12-22 · Campaign 22V947000 · Model years: 2022

Some 2022 Ram ProMaster chassis cab and incomplete vehicles were built with the wrong kind of backup camera. It is an analog camera, and it cannot actually be installed on these trucks, so the driver has no working rear view on the screen. Federal rules require a working backup camera, and these vehicles do not meet that rule. Without one, it is harder to see people or objects behind you when you back up. The dealer will supply a digital camera free.

Ram ProMaster seat belts may not hold child seats high

Reported 2021-09-09 · Campaign 21V699000 · Model years: 2021

Seat belts have a locking mode you use to hold a child safety seat tightly in place. In these vans, that locking feature may switch off too early, so the belt does not stay locked and the child seat may not be held securely. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rule on protecting people in a crash. A dealer will inspect the seat belt retractors, the parts that wind the belt up, and replace them if needed.

Ram ProMaster paratransit shifter cable may separate from transmission high

Reported 2020-10-15 · Campaign 20V582000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

On certain 2014-2019 Prime-Time paratransit vehicles with 3.6L engines, the cable that connects the gear shifter to the transmission can come apart. When that happens, the transmission does not go into the gear you selected, and the shift lever can show one gear while the vehicle is actually in another. You might think you are in park when you are not, and the vehicle could move when you do not expect it to.

Ram 1500 and ProMaster side curtain airbags may not inflate high

Reported 2020-06-25 · Campaign 20V374000 · Model years: 2020

Some 2020 Ram ProMaster vans and Ram 1500 pickups have a side curtain airbag — the one that drops down along the windows to protect your head — that was put together wrong. A part inside that channels the gas into the bag was not crimped properly, so it can come loose when the airbag goes off. If that happens in a crash, the airbag may not fill the way it should and may not protect you. Dealers will replace the airbags free.

Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster vans: seat belts may not secure high

Reported 2020-05-05 · Campaign 20V250000 · Model years: 2019

These vans were fitted with Freedman fold-away seats by an outside company. A part inside the front seat belt retractor — the piece that lets the belt reel in and out — was not set up correctly. Because of that, the belt may not lock and hold a person snugly against the seat. The vans do not meet the federal safety rule for seat belts. A dealer will put in new retractors at no cost.

Converted Transit and ProMaster vans have faulty seat belts high

Reported 2020-04-20 · Campaign 20V222000 · Model years: 2019

These converted Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster vans have folding passenger seats whose seat belts may not work properly. Inside each belt is a spool that lets the belt pull out and then locks it in place. On these seats, that locking setup may not have been adjusted correctly when it was built. Because of that, the belt may not hold a person firmly against the seat. Anyone riding in an affected seat may not be properly restrained in a crash.

Ram ProMaster shifter cable may come loose from transmission high

Reported 2020-01-23 · Campaign 20V036000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

The cable that connects your gear shifter to the transmission can come apart. When that happens, moving the shift lever no longer changes gears, and the letter shown on the dash may not match the gear the van is actually in. You could think it is in Park when it is not, and the van could roll away or move when you don't expect it. A dealer will install a new shift cable.

Ram ProMaster engine cooling fan can overheat and burn critical

Reported 2019-11-15 · Campaign 19V818000 · Model years: 2018

The fan that cools the engine can seize up and stop turning. When that happens the fan's motor keeps trying to run, gets very hot, and can catch fire. This affects vans with the 3.0-liter diesel or 3.6-liter gas engine and air conditioning. Chrysler mailed an early warning letter in December 2019 and the actual repair became available in July 2020. Dealers replace the whole engine cooling fan unit for free.

Ford Econoline and Ram ProMaster backup camera image reversed medium

Reported 2019-06-11 · Campaign 19V428000 · Model years: 2018

These work vans and trucks have an add-on backup camera screen that can reset itself to factory settings. When that happens, the picture flips left to right, like a mirror image. Something that appears on the right side of the screen is really on your left. Backing up, you could steer the wrong way to avoid a person or object behind you. The company that installed the screens will notify owners and provide a free fix.

Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster foldaway seats may unlatch medium

Reported 2019-04-29 · Campaign 19V333000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

These vans were modified with Freedman Go-ES Foldaway seats, which fold up out of the way and then swing back down for passengers. When the seat cushion is swung back down into the upright seating position, it may not lock securely. Under a heavy load — such as a crash or a hard, sudden stop — the seat back can shift instead of holding firm. Freedman will repair the foldaway seats at no cost.

Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster fold-away seats may unlock medium

Reported 2019-04-18 · Campaign 19V313000 · Model years: 2018

These 2014-2018 Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster vans and 2014-2015 Ford Econoline vans were modified with Freedman fold-away seats. When the back seat cushion is moved from its stowed position into the upright seating position, it may not stay locked in place. Under a heavy load, such as a crash or a sudden hard stop, the cushion can shift instead of holding firm. Someone sitting in that seat could be hurt more badly as a result.

Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster foldaway seats may unlock high

Reported 2019-03-01 · Campaign 19V332000 · Model years: 2018

These Ram ProMaster and Ford Transit vans were modified to add Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats. When you flip the seat back up from its folded, stowed position, it may not lock firmly in place. Under a hard load — a sudden stop or a crash — the seat back can move instead of holding. Anyone sitting in that seat is less protected if it shifts. Freedman dealers have already inspected and repaired the foldaway seats at no cost to owners.

Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler engine computer may cause stalling high

Reported 2018-08-09 · Campaign 18V524000 · Model years: 2018

The computer that runs the engine has a small part inside, a voltage regulator chip, that can fail. When it does, the engine can shut off while you are driving, or the vehicle may not start at all. A stall in traffic leaves you without engine power and can put you in the path of other vehicles. Dealers will replace the whole engine computer at no charge.

Ram ProMaster side airbag sensor may crack in doors high

Reported 2017-11-14 · Campaign 17V712000 · Model years: 2018

The wrong rivet was used to attach the crash sensor inside each front door of these Ram ProMaster vans. Because of that, the sensor's housing can crack. That sensor is what tells the side airbags to inflate, so if it is broken the side airbags may not go off properly in a side-impact crash, leaving people less protected. The dealer will replace both front door sensors and attach them with the correct rivets.
