What's recalled

Component: Exterior lighting

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Ram ProMaster vehicles. The wiring harness may have a poor connection, which can cause the left taillight and left turn signal to become inoperative. 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

An inoperative left turn signal may not notify other drivers of a turning vehicle, and an inoperative left taillight can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Dealers will inspect and replace the harness, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 20, 2025. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 21B.

Status: NHTSA lists Feb 20, 2025 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.

Ram recall number 21B

NHTSA lists the manufacturer's own recall number for 24V197000 as 21B. Owner letters and dealer service departments often use this code, so a search for "21B recall" refers to the same campaign.
