Ram ProMasters safety recall for Inspection and (possible) Replacement of Brake Hose

2014 ram promaster front
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is issuing a recall for its Ram ProMaster. The issue is a brake hose that may have been tightened by the incorrect wrench. The result of the faulty wrench could be a degradation in brake performance. No incidents have been reported, but Fiat Chrysler Automobiles needs to inspect the hose and, if necessary, replace it.

There are very few Ram ProMasters on the road as deliveries have just begun. The Fast Lane Truck just tested a Ram ProMaster and its brakes were function fine. Still, it’s best to contact your dealer and schedule an appointment.

“A routine post-production test on one van discovered damage that could degrade brake performance. Damage was linked to the use of a specific wrench during assembly; it is no longer used.

Chrysler Group is unaware of any related injuries, accidents or complaints.

Approximately half of the affected vehicles, all model-year 2014 Ram ProMasters, are in dealer hands. Chrysler Group expects less than two percent of the total will require repair.

If damage is observed, the brake hose will be replaced.

Chrysler Group will notify affected customers; all repair costs will be borne by the Company.” – – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
