2018 RAM PROMASTER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 RAM ProMaster has 8 recalls, the most serious being fire risks tied to the radiator cooling fan circuit, where wiring can overheat and ignite before the fuse protects it, and a separate concern where the cooling fan motor can seize and overheat for the same result. On the drivetrain side, the transmission shifter cable on 3.6L-equipped vehicles can separate from the transmission, leaving the gear selector showing a position that does not match the actual gear. This mismatch can cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly and raises the crash risk. Two recalls address the same underlying problem, one covering standard ProMaster vehicles and one covering Paratransit conversion vehicles. Two safety equipment concerns round out the list. Front door impact pressure sensors on some vehicles are held in place with fasteners that can fracture the sensor housing, which can cause side airbags to deploy incorrectly or not at all in a side-impact crash. On ProMaster vehicles modified with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats, the seat back cushion may not lock into its upright position under load, allowing it to shift during a sudden stop or crash and raising the risk of injury to whoever is sitting there.
