Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In the federal record, 2020 and 2021 recorded only 3 and 4 total complaints respectively, while 2023 logged 2 complaints and 13 TSIBs. The 2022 model shows 9 crash‑related complaints and 5 fire‑related complaints, with the highest complaint categories being Power Train (22) and Electrical System (19). Compared with the preceding low‑complaint years, 2022’s complaint volume is markedly higher, yet it remains well below the 23 complaints observed in 2015. Recalls and investigations have been zero for every year in the series, including 2022, indicating no formal safety remedial actions have been issued. Consequently, while the 2022 ProMaster 2500 does not carry the recall burden of earlier years, its elevated complaint categories suggest a higher likelihood of power‑train or electrical issues, making it a cautious choice for purchase.
