Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) is recalling approximately 790 units of its all-electric 2024–2025 Ram ProMaster BEV (VF)vans due to a software issue in the Electric Drive Module (EDM) that may not effectively manage torque. This malfunction could result in a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), certain 2024–2025 Ram ProMaster BEVs were built with Motor Control Processor (MCP) software that does not properly limit dynamic torque spikes.
The suspect production period began on August 31, 2023, when vehicles were first assembled with the affected software, and ended on July 17, 2025, when Stellantis implemented the corrected version. Engineering release data and vehicle production records were used to identify the affected population. Vehicles not included in this recall were either built after the suspect period or had the correct MCP software flashed before leaving plant control.
