Buying a used 2020 RAM Promaster? Check these 5 recalls first
Five recalls, including the critical radiator fan wiring fire risk that spans most ProMaster years, side curtain airbags that may not inflate, and a van that may roll away despite being in Park. A wheelchair restraint recall applies only to Rollx conversions. Back over prevention tops the 42 unverified owner complaints with 11, matching a recall for a backup camera that may fail; powertrain and electrical follow. Three complaints mention crashes and two mention injuries.
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.
- Check the VIN for the fan wiring, airbag and rollaway recall repairs
- Test the backup camera repeatedly from a cold start to see if the image drops out
- Confirm the van holds in Park on a slope and ask about any unexpected movement
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
