What's wrong?
The Q'Straint One-Combo Belt on the 2026 Ram Promaster is a wheelchair seat belt system. Its job is to hold an occupant in the wheelchair position by using matching belt connectors that latch together and stay locked when restraint is needed.
In this recall, the TX11258-BA belt kit has incompatible connectors. That means the belt hardware does not match the way the restraint system is supposed to fasten. If the connectors do not lock as designed, the wheelchair seat belt fails to properly restrain the occupant.
There is no warning sign before failure. A belt can appear connected even when the connector pairing is wrong, so the problem is not something an owner can confirm by sound, feel, or a dashboard warning light.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific van is included.
What's the safety risk?
Improper restraint means an occupant has less protection from the seat belt during a crash, which increases the risk of injury. If your VIN is included, keep using seat belts and schedule the recall service when the repair opens. Repair will be free at any franchised Ram dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2026 Ram Promaster is included in this recall.
- Watch for the owner letter before scheduling the dealer repair.
- Contact a franchised Ram dealer once the repair opens to schedule the free seat-belt replacement that fixes the incompatible wheelchair-belt connectors.
- Bring the owner letter if it has arrived. If not, reference recall number 26V357 when you call.
- Use another seating position or vehicle for wheelchair passengers until the seat-belt repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ram technician will replace the affected wheelchair seat belt, the Q'Straint One-Combo Belt with part number TX11258-BA, so the restraint connectors match and hold the occupant as intended. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Owner letters are expected to be mailed June 22, 2026. Until then, keep your repair request tied to recall 26V357 when you call the Ram dealer, especially if the van carries wheelchair restraint equipment.
