Buying a used 2021 RAM Promaster City? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls apply: the same critical defect where braking can be lost without warning, a high-severity issue where the seat belts may not properly hold a child seat, and a minor missing turn signal failure warning. NHTSA shows five owner complaints, led by engine with three, plus single reports on exterior lighting, seat belts and equipment. No crashes, fires or injuries are recorded. Those complaints are unverified owner reports, and five is a small sample.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm by VIN that both the brake-loss and child-seat belt recalls were performed
- If you'll carry a child seat, test the belt lock on each seating position before buying
- Ask about engine behavior and any unresolved check-engine or running issues
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
