Ram ProMaster Lemon Law

Ram recalled about 291,664 ProMaster vans (2018–2026) because premature bearing wear in the cooling-fan motor, combined with inadequate fuse protection on the fan circuit, can cause a high current draw and a vehicle fire. A separate recall covered roughly 165,503 2019–2021 ProMasters with the 62TE transmission because the park pawl may not fully engage the park gear due to internal debris, allowing the van to roll away.

For a cargo van businesses depend on, a fire risk or an unexpected rollaway is a serious safety and financial problem — and downtime hits the bottom line.

A recall isn't automatically a lemon. But if the repair is delayed, doesn't resolve the problem, or your ProMaster is out of service for an extended time, California's Lemon Law may entitle you to a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement — with the manufacturer paying your attorney fees.

A recall is not automatically a lemon — it's the manufacturer acknowledging a defect and offering a free repair. California's Lemon Law (the Song-Beverly Act) comes into play when a substantial defect can't be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, or when your ProMaster has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days.

If your Ram ProMaster qualifies, you may be entitled to a buyback (a refund of what you've paid, minus a mileage offset), a replacement vehicle, or a cash-and-keep settlement — and Ram pays your attorney fees on a successful claim, so pursuing your case costs you nothing out of pocket.
