What's wrong, in plain English
Certain 2015 through 2018 Ram ProMaster vans built with a 3.0-liter diesel engine or a 3.6-liter gasoline engine, and equipped with air conditioning, may have a problem with the engine cooling fan. The fan can seize up while the engine is running. When the fan seizes in this way, the motor that powers the fan can begin to overheat as a result.
