Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Engine

Transport Canada recall 2025578 · manufacturer campaign 67C / B3C / C9C

23 October 2025

Transport Canada lists: Promaster 2018–2026

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the wiring for the 400 W radiator cooling fan module may not have proper circuit protection. Additionally, the bearing for the fan could fail. If this happens, the wiring could overheat and melt before the fuse blows.

Why it matters

Wiring that overheats and melts could create the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the cooling fan module and fuse. The dealer will also install a label on the power distribution center and add an insert to the owner's manual.

Transport Canada recall 2025442 · manufacturer campaign 59C

26 August 2025

Transport Canada lists: Journey 2019–2020 · Promaster 2019–2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a problem with the rearview camera could cause the rearview camera image not to display correctly or at all.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the rearview camera.

Structure

Transport Canada recall 2024327 · manufacturer campaign 53B

6 June 2024

Transport Canada lists: Promaster 2021–2024

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the passenger-side sliding door may be missing a support beam. In a crash, this could reduce the door's strength. Additionally, the tire and loading information label may not list the correct seating capacity.

Why it matters

A door structure that isn't strong enough could increase the risk of injuries in a crash.

What the dealer will do

FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install the missing door beam and replace the tire and loading information label.

Transport Canada recall 2024169 · manufacturer campaign 21B

14 March 2024

Transport Canada lists: Promaster 2021–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a wiring problem could cause the left-rear tail lamp and/or turn signal not to work.

Why it matters

A tail lamp that doesn't work could make the vehicle less visible to others. A turn signal that doesn't work could cause a person not to recognize when a driver intends to turn or change lanes. Both issues could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

FCA Canada will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.

Powertrain

Transport Canada recall 2023253 · manufacturer campaign 44A / 61A

27 April 2023

Transport Canada lists: Promaster 2019–2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the transmission parking pawl may not fully engage when you shift to park. If this happens, and the parking brake isn't used, the vehicle could roll away.

Why it matters

A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury or a crash.

What the dealer will do

FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the powertrain control module (PCM) calibration software. The dealer will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmission or parts inside the transmission. To reduce the safety risk, FCA Canada recommends that you should always use the parking brake when you park.

Seats And Restraints

Transport Canada recall 2021553 · manufacturer campaign Y61

9 September 2021

Transport Canada lists: Promaster 2021

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat.

Why it matters

A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the seat belts. They will be replaced, if necessary.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
