What's wrong?
The engine cooling fan on these 2016-2018 Dynamax Rev and Orion motorhomes is mounted near the radiator and air conditioning system on the Ram ProMaster chassis. Its job is to pull air through the cooling stack when the engine or A/C needs extra airflow. That airflow helps control engine temperature and keeps the A/C system from building excess heat while the motorhome is stopped or moving slowly.
The problem is that the cooling fan can seize. When the fan locks up in high speed mode, the fan motor keeps drawing electrical current against a stuck fan. The circuit protection design does not fully protect the motor from that overload, so the motor can overheat and suffer thermal damage.
The warning signs listed for this recall are a Check Engine light or an Engine Temperature Malfunction Indicator Light. If either light comes on, the cooling fan system needs dealer attention.

What's the safety risk?
An overheated fan motor increases the risk of a fire. The Check Engine light or Engine Temperature Malfunction Indicator Light can come on, so treat either warning as a reason to stop safely and call the dealer before continuing. Repair will be free at any franchised Dynamax dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2018 Rev or Orion motorhome is included in this recall.
- Wait for Dynamax's repair instructions before scheduling if your VIN shows the final remedy is not open.
- Contact Dynamax customer service with questions about the free engine-cooling-fan repair.
- Ask the dealer about the engine cooling fan module replacement that fixes the overheating fan motor.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 19V919 when you call.
- Park away from structures and avoid running the engine longer than needed until the fan module is repaired.
What happens at the repair
The final dealer repair is to replace the engine cooling fan module, free of charge. Because this recall is marked as not available in the current remedy status, do not assume the dealer can complete the final repair until the campaign record shows it is open. When it opens, a Dynamax technician will replace the fan module so the cooling fan motor no longer depends on the seized unit. The reimbursement record points to the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan. If you already paid for a related engine cooling fan module repair, ask Forest River customer service how to submit repair documentation.
