Related recall: NHTSA 25V720000 / Chrysler 67C — "The electrical circuit for the radiator fan may overheat." Fire/injury: No fire / no injuries; component overheated and burned/melted. Complaint narrative (paste this into the form) The radiator cooling fan on my 2020 Ram ProMaster 3500 (3.6L gasoline V6) repeatedly became stuck running / would not shut off on multiple occasions. The cooling fan electrical circuit overheated, and the fuse and fuse box (power distribution center) burned and melted, which in turn damaged the adjacent wiring harness. The fuse did not protect the circuit before the overheating and thermal damage occurred. This is the identical failure mode described in NHTSA recall campaign 25V720000 (Chrysler recall 67C), which states that "the electrical circuit for the radiator fan may overheat" and that "electrical circuits that overheat increase the risk of a fire," with a remedy of replacing the cooling fan module and fuse. My vehicle is a 2020 ProMaster, within the 2018–2026 model years covered by that recall. However, when I contacted Ram/Chrysler, I was told my VIN is not included in the recall population. I am filing this complaint because my vehicle experienced the exact defect the recall was issued to address — a stuck-on radiator cooling fan causing the fan electrical circuit to overheat and burn the fuse box and wiring harness, creating a fire risk. I had to pay to repair this damage. I request that NHTSA review whether the recall population should be expanded to include my VIN and other affected vehicles exhibiting this same failure. Documentation available on request: photographs of the burned/melted fuse box and damaged wiring harness, and repair invoices showing replacement of the cooling fan/fan module, fuse box, and wiring.

We were driving on I -75 near mm 224 when we felt the van kind of wobble then heard a noise like we dropped something. We pulled over, all four tires were inflated, so we looked under each tire, we noticed the tread was missing. We drove slowly about 5 miles, to the nearest tire shop, which was Devito’s Auto Repair 2420 US Hwy 301 in Ellenton, FL, who switched out our tire and recommended we change out the remaining three when we get home, as these tire are known to separate tread.

Is 42 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2020 and 2026, roughly 7 a year, which is about the same as the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2020 has 42 complaints on file, fewer than the 2019 (60) and fewer than the 2021 (109). Of the 11 model years of the Ram Promaster we cover, the 2021 has the most (109). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
