Buying a used 2019 RAM Promaster? Check these 9 recalls first
Nine recalls, headed by the critical radiator fan wiring that can overheat and catch fire. Several involve drivetrain control: a shifter cable that may come loose from the transmission and a van that may roll away despite being in Park. Seat belt and wheelchair restraint recalls apply to converted and Rollx upfitted vans, so ask how this one was built. Powertrain dominates the 58 unverified owner complaints with 24, ahead of engine; two complaints mention crashes.
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 the fan wiring fire recall and both shifter cable/rollaway recalls were completed
- Park on an incline, set Park only, and verify the van holds without creeping
- Ask whether the van was converted or upfitted, since some recalls only apply to those builds
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
