Buying a used 2023 RAM Promaster? Check these 5 recalls first
Five recalls: the critical radiator fan wiring fire risk, vans built missing a side door beam, a backup camera that may show nothing, a driver seat belt warning that may not work, and a wheelchair restraint issue limited to Rollx conversions. The complaint pattern is the notable part. Steering accounts for 36 of 86 unverified owner reports, well ahead of electrical, and five complaints mention fires. No recall here covers steering, so treat it as unconfirmed but worth driving for.
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.
- Test drive at speed specifically for steering feel, wander or looseness
- Confirm by VIN the fan wiring and side door beam recalls were completed
- Check the engine bay and wiring for heat damage, and test the backup camera and belt chime
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
