Ram ProMaster left taillight and turn signal may fail

NHTSA campaign 24V197000 · Reported Mar 14, 2024 · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis)

medium How serious is it? About this label

A dead left turn signal may leave other drivers unaware that the van is turning, and a dead left taillight makes the van harder to see; both increase the risk of a crash. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

In these Ram ProMaster vans, a wiring connection may be poor, which can stop the left taillight and the left turn signal from working. When that happens, the left rear light does not come on and the left turn signal does not flash, so other drivers get no signal that the van is turning and have a harder time seeing it. Because of this, the vans do not meet the federal rule covering lamps, reflective devices and related equipment.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your van is included. 2. Contact a Ram dealer, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number 21B). 3. Dealers inspect and, if needed, replace the wiring harness free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 24V197000.

Summary
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Ram ProMaster vehicles. The wiring harness may have a poor connection, which can cause the left taillight and left turn signal to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Safety risk
An inoperative left turn signal may not notify other drivers of a turning vehicle, and an inoperative left taillight can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the harness, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 20, 2025. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 21B.
