Buying a used 2021 RAM Promaster? Check these 8 recalls first
Eight recalls, spanning the critical radiator fan wiring fire risk, seat belts that may not hold child seats, rollaway from Park, vans built missing a side door beam, a dead left taillight and turn signal, a loose ground that can disable stability control, and backup camera failure. Owner complaints jump to 109, by far the highest here, led by back over prevention and electrical, with lane departure also notable. Those reports are unverified; three cite fires.
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.
- Ask the dealer to confirm by VIN whether this van was one missing the side door beam
- Run the backup camera, left taillight, turn signals and check for a stability control light
- Confirm the fan wiring recall repair and inspect the engine bay for heat damage or repairs
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
