Ram Recall 21V-728: Exterior lighting – turn signal

Affected: 2019–2021 Ram Promaster City. Filed with NHTSA on September 21, 2021, covering about 23,853 vehicles.

The problem

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Ram ProMaster City vehicles. If one or both turn signal lights fail, the flashing rate may not change to warn the driver of the failure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

The driver may be unaware that the turn signals are not signaling their intentions to other drivers, which can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will update the Body Controller Module (BCM) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 28, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US LLC's number for this recall is Y71.
