2015 RAM PROMASTER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 RAM ProMaster has 14 recalls, the most serious being an ignition switch that can intermittently lose electrical contact, stalling the engine and potentially disabling the airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability control simultaneously. Two separate transmission concerns round out the powertrain issues: the transmission pump can seize and cause a complete loss of drive power, and the shifter cable can disconnect from the transmission, leaving the gear selector showing a different gear than the one actually engaged, which can result in unexpected vehicle movement. On the electrical side, a wiring connector near the driver's seat floor can corrode, causing the vehicle to shift into neutral on its own or preventing restart after the engine is switched off. On fire risk, the engine cooling fan can seize and overheat the fan motor circuit, raising the risk of fire on vehicles equipped with air conditioning. Side curtain airbag concerns appear in two forms: the tape used to stow the curtain at the A-pillar can interfere with deployment in a side impact or rollover, and on certain trims an installation issue can prevent the curtain from deploying at all in a crash. There is also a trailer lighting issue where a software error can prevent brake lights from illuminating on a towed trailer. Finally, sun visors and dashboard labels on some vehicles incorrectly state that advanced airbags are fitted, which can lead occupants to position themselves closer to the airbag than is safe.
