Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A noncompliant emergency exit can increase the risk of ejection and injury during a crash.
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Ram ProMaster vehicles.
The installed window may have the wrong type of glass for an emergency exit.
As such, these vehicles fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, “Ejection Mitigation.”

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
