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.

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.

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.

Label

Transport Canada recall 2021200

30 March 2021

Transport Canada lists: Promaster 2016–2020

What is wrong

On certain wheelchair-accessible vehicles, the compliance label has incomplete information. Also, the tire and loading information label may not have been updated to include the new seating capacity and the maximum weight of occupants and cargo. This could lead to overloading of the vehicle and cause poor handling or a tire failure.

Why it matters

Overloading of the vehicle could cause a loss of control and result in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dynamic Specialty Vehicles will mail new compliance and tire and loading information labels to each owner, along with instructions for how to install them.

What is wrong

Why it matters

An airbag that does inflate properly could create an increased 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 replace the side curtain airbags.

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.
