Stellantis issued a clump of recalls, but had plenty of company in this week’s roundup. For Stellantis, we have a loss of drive power on the 2024 ProMaster BEV, only affecting 336 vehicles (few have actually been sold), due to “incorrect software” in the motor computer. Dealers have to update the software. All ProMasters made through April 13, 2024 are affected—nearly a year’s worth of vans, which suggests that sales of the $90,000 van have not been spectacular. The inverter module is made by Jing-Jin Electric.
The second Stellantis recall was reported here in depth last week, and covers 4xe Jeeps. The third covers turn signal problems on the 2023-24 Ram 1500; the turn signals do work, but they may not shut off automatically. This recall covers over 130,000 vehicles globally but only 5% have the faulty steering column mechanisms. Production ran from March 24, 2023 through December 27, 2023. Modules were made by the Mexican firm BCS Automotive Interface Solutions.
Other manufacturers also had recalls this week. BMW had loose front body bolts on the 2023-24 228 and 2025 Mini Countryman S All4, breaking steering spindles on numerous 2024-25 XDrive and EDrive models, and overheating reverse gears on the 2021-24 R18. In the same country if not the same company, 2021-22 Mercedes airbags may not work correctly on the GLE, and Volkswagen may have used brake cylinders with the wrong part on the 2024 Atlas.
Tesla Cybertrucks, which have quite poor rear vision, also have nonfunctional rear cameras; and 2024 Buick Envisions may have the wrong tire/weight labels.
Finally, 2024-25 Aston Martins may spit oil, causing fires; and the 2019-20 Nissan Leaf poses a fire risk when quick-charging the battery.
