The 2021 Ram ProMaster has 8 recalls in this group, spanning Park engagement, a missing side-door safety beam, fan-circuit overheating, restraints, rear lighting, stability control, and the backup camera.

The complaint record lists 1 crash, 3 fires, and 0 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.
- Verify side-door safety-beam and Park recall completion.
- Check camera, left taillight, and turn-signal operation.
- Request fan-circuit, stability-control, and applicable restraint repair records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
