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.

The 2022 Ram ProMaster City marks the final model year in this generation's federal record and represents the lowest complaint total (2) alongside zero recalls since 2018. This year falls at the tail end of a dramatic downward trend: complaints fell from a peak of 87 in 2015 to just 1–5 annually from 2018 onward, while recalls similarly declined from 14 in 2015 to 0–3 per year in the 2018–2022 range. The sole fire complaint and the two complaint areas (Electrical System/Engine and Power Train/Engine, each cited once) do not indicate a systemic pattern, particularly given the absence of any crash-related complaints or formal investigations. TSBs dropped to just 9 in 2022, down sharply from 483 in 2015, suggesting the manufacturer resolved many early-service issues through cumulative technical updates. The data suggests the 2022 model benefits from the platform's maturation, with no active recalls or investigations outstanding. For a buyer, this positions the 2022 ProMaster City as the strongest candidate within this generation—a model year with minimal reported problems and a fully resolved service history—provided the specific unit has documented maintenance records and passes a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
