My 2021 Ram ProMaster 2500 has two open safety recalls with no remedy available: the federal safety agency Recall 25V‑552 (rearview camera FMVSS 111 compliance issue) issued August 26, 2025 the federal safety agency Recall 25V‑720 (cooling fan fire risk) issued October 23, 2025 As of April 2026, no remedy has been provided for either recall. The vehicle is used commercially for rental income, and the lack of a repair has caused financial loss of approximately $500–$1,000 per month. One of the recalls involves a potential vehicle fire risk. The prolonged delay without a remedy is concerning for both safety and financial reasons.
