2014 RAM Promaster

The electric power steering system can fail suddenly while driving, causing the steering wheel to jerk violently or become extremely heavy and difficult to turn. Some failures are traced to water intrusion and corrosion in the wiring connector on the steering rack. This is extremely dangerous in a vehicle of this size and weight, particularly for fleet drivers in urban settings.

Inspect the steering rack wiring connector for corrosion and water damage. TSB 19-008-22 addresses EPS system diagnostics. Replace the steering rack assembly and connector with sealed, updated parts. Apply dielectric grease to all electrical connections to prevent future corrosion.

The plastic engine cowl panel between the windshield and hood warps, cracks, or separates, allowing water to flood the engine bay during rain. The water can damage the Engine Control Module, alternator, and other electrical components. Owners may notice hesitation, misfires, or electrical issues after rain events.

Replace the cowl panel with an updated design that has improved sealing. TSB 23-012-22 addresses cowl panel water intrusion. Apply sealant along the windshield-to-cowl junction. Inspect and dry any water-damaged electrical connectors.

The electronic parking brake applies itself unexpectedly while the vehicle is in gear and moving, causing sudden deceleration and loss of vehicle control for up to 5 seconds. The driver cannot accelerate during this time. This is particularly dangerous when driving over hills or in traffic.

Update the parking brake control module software. TSB 05-010-22 addresses unintended parking brake engagement. If the issue persists after the software update, replace the parking brake actuator module. Inspect the brake switch and its wiring harness.

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 in the ProMaster develops a progressively worsening engine tick caused by worn rocker arms and hydraulic lash adjusters. By 60,000 miles, some vehicles require new rocker arms. If not addressed promptly, cam lobe damage can occur, requiring a partial engine rebuild (top-end replacement).

Replace the rocker arms and hydraulic lash adjusters with updated parts. TSB 09-009-23 covers HLA and rocker arm diagnostics. Maintain strict oil change intervals using 0W-20 full synthetic oil. Top-end rebuild required if cam lobe damage has occurred.

The crankcase breather valve (PCV valve) becomes blocked, triggering Check Engine Light with DTC P052E71. This causes excessive crankcase pressure, which can push oil past seals and gaskets, leading to oil leaks and increased oil consumption. The issue is shared with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans that use similar components.

Replace the crankcase breather valve assembly. Clear the DTC codes and monitor for recurrence. TSB 09-015-22 covers P052E diagnostic procedures. Inspect the intake manifold and vacuum lines for oil contamination. Replace valve cover gaskets if oil has been pushed past them.

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ram ProMaster vehicles manufactured April 23, 2013, to August 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS module with new software, free of charge. The recall began on December 8, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P62.
