What this recall means for you
The shifter cable in certain 2014-2019 RAM ProMaster Paratransit vehicles with 3.6L engines may separate from the transmission. When this happens, the shift lever may not match the transmission's actual gear, and the vehicle may not shift as the driver intends.
A driver may not know which gear the vehicle is actually in, so unintended vehicle movement can occur, which increases the risk of a crash.
Owners will be notified by Prime-Time Specialty Vehicles and should take their vehicle to a Ram dealer for the necessary repair, which is free of charge. You can contact Prime-Time customer service at 1-574-293-9191 (recall number W00), and you should also check your VIN for any open recalls.
