The contact owns a 2020 Ram Promaster 3500. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V552000 (Back Over Prevention) and 25V720000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the back over prevention camera failed to properly operate and failed to display an image of the rear of the vehicle. The failure was intermittent. The coolant level failed to remain at the proper levels and coolant needed to be added frequently. The contact stated that the battery suddenly lost power and need to be recharged more frequently. The dealer was contacted several times; however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was recently contacted, and the contact was informed that an inspection was needed before ordering the parts. The dealer stated that it might take a day or two to complete the inspection and order the parts but could not provide a time for when the parts would be received or when the repair would be completed.

Related recall: NHTSA 25V720000 / Chrysler 67C — "The electrical circuit for the radiator fan may overheat." Fire/injury: No fire / no injuries; component overheated and burned/melted. Complaint narrative (paste this into the form) The radiator cooling fan on my 2020 Ram ProMaster 3500 (3.6L gasoline V6) repeatedly became stuck running / would not shut off on multiple occasions. The cooling fan electrical circuit overheated, and the fuse and fuse box (power distribution center) burned and melted, which in turn damaged the adjacent wiring harness. The fuse did not protect the circuit before the overheating and thermal damage occurred. This is the identical failure mode described in NHTSA recall campaign 25V720000 (Chrysler recall 67C), which states that "the electrical circuit for the radiator fan may overheat" and that "electrical circuits that overheat increase the risk of a fire," with a remedy of replacing the cooling fan module and fuse. My vehicle is a 2020 ProMaster, within the 2018–2026 model years covered by that recall. However, when I contacted Ram/Chrysler, I was told my VIN is not included in the recall population. I am filing this complaint because my vehicle experienced the exact defect the recall was issued to address — a stuck-on radiator cooling fan causing the fan electrical circuit to overheat and burn the fuse box and wiring harness, creating a fire risk. I had to pay to repair this damage. I request that NHTSA review whether the recall population should be expanded to include my VIN and other affected vehicles exhibiting this same failure. Documentation available on request: photographs of the burned/melted fuse box and damaged wiring harness, and repair invoices showing replacement of the cooling fan/fan module, fuse box, and wiring.

The rear backup camera has been intermittently failing for over one year on this 2020 RAM ProMaster 2500. The failure has now become more frequent and extended. When the fault occurs, the infotainment screen displays a permanent "Camera System Unavailable" message that blocks access to all other functions including radio, phone, and navigation. The failure occurs in all gear positions and persists after engine restart. The only temporary resolution has been extended power-off periods. The dealer confirmed this vehicle is covered under Manufacturer Recall 59C / NHTSA Recall 25V-552 but stated no remedy parts are available. No written service record was created for this report. No interim remedy or timeline was provided. The recall was issued August 2025 and as of May 2026 remains unresolved. This constitutes a direct safety hazard during reversing maneuvers, consistent with NHTSA's own safety risk description for this recall.

Pertaining to the open recall: Manufacturer Recall Number59C NHTSA Recall Number25V-552 We had called last year when the back camera started acting up; was told there was a pending recall to release by the end of the year (Dec 2025). Called back January 2026 to see about a fix on the recall, was notified they have the recall, but there wasn't a part for the fix yet and to call back later. Called back March 2026 because the issue seems to be getting worse and the rear camera sometimes just doesn't turn on at all; and was told there was still no part yet. So was going to wait another two months before calling again. But today (April 2026) one of our drivers accidently backed into a truck, luckily all of our drivers have been hyper cautious so they weren't going very fast so there were no damages to the other vehicle. Not having a fix for the rear view camera system still, has made our drivers feel uneasy when they have to take this van out. It's definitely a huge safety issue, especially since there is no visibility to look out the rear windows. A fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

Rearview camera only works 10% of the time; recall was issues in Aug '25, but there is still not a remedy. Seems pretty easy to just install a new camera, not sure why this is taking so long. The vehicle has horrible sight lines, backing up is near impossible on your own. Recall Info: Aug 26,2025 Manufacturer Recall Number59C NHTSA Recall Number25V-552
