Problem overview

Some Ram ProMaster City owners report experiencing rusting oil pans, with issues such as rust bubbles around the drain plug and peeling paint on the pan. This problem has been noted at relatively low mileage, including reports of rust appearing at 57,000 miles on a 2019 model and even on newer vehicles with just 70,000 miles. In cases of rusting, owners are advised to clean the affected area with a wire brush and consider sealing it to prevent further deterioration; severe rust may necessitate oil pan replacement. Additionally, some owners have encountered leaks that required oil pan replacements, with certain cases covered under warranty by dealers. Prompt attention to these issues is recommended to prevent further damage and maintain the proper functioning of the oil pan.
