Service Procedure
A. (VM Model) Automatic Locking Retractor Inspection Procedure
NOTE: Repeat steps 1 thru 5, five consecutive times.
NOTE: Position the passenger seat belt height adjuster to the full down position first, then position the seat in the full rear position.
- Place a binder clip at the D-Ring if checking the outboard seating positions or at the seat mounted Web Guide for the center seating position (Figure 2).
- Pull out a small amount of webbing, and place a second binder clip 8 inches (203mm) away for 1st Row or 12 inches (305mm) away in the 2nd Row to establish your control point for determining if the ALR deactivation is in specification or not (Figure 3).
- Slowly extract all of the seat belt webbing from retractor until no more webbing will pull out. At this point the ALR mode for securing a child seat will be activated and you will hear an audible ratcheting or clicking noise as the seat belt begins to retract.
- Slowly allow the seat belt to retract, and after every 1-2 inches of webbing is retracted, gently pull on the webbing to verify the retract is still locked (ALR mode still engaged).
➢ If the retractor remains in ALR mode (locked – webbing can’t be freely extracted) upon reaching the nearest binder clip that was placed on the webbing, then the retractor is OK and is capable of securing a child seat.
➢ If the retractor switches out of ALR mode (unlocked – can freely extract webbing) before reaching the nearest binder clip, then retractor is NOK, and must be replaced. Proceed to seat belt replacement procedure section below.
✔ Front (Passenger) ALR – Reference Section B, page 6.
✔ Rear Center ALR – Reference Section C, page 13.
✔ Rear Outboard ALR – Reference Section D, page 15.

Supplemental Restraint System Verification Test
- During the following test, the negative cable remains disconnected and isolated from the battery, as it was during the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Connector (DLC). The DLC is located on the driver side lower edge of the component removal and installation procedures.
- Be certain that the diagnostic scan tool contains the latest version of the proper diagnostic software. Connect the diagnostic scan tool to the 16-way Data Link instrument panel, near the steering column opening cover and outboard of the steering column.

- Turn the ignition switch OFF for about 15 seconds, and then back to ON. Observe the airbag indicator in the instrument cluster. It should light from four to six seconds, and then go out. This indicates that the SRS is functioning normally and that the repairs are complete. If the airbag indicator fails to light, or lights and stays ON, there is still an active SRS fault or malfunction. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to diagnose the problem.

Non BusinessLink Dealers should not order parts or perform the repair. 2021 (VM) Ram ProMaster City 2021 (VF) Ram ProMaster NOTE: Some vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall. Remedy Available Remedy NOT Available IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process. Safety Recall Y61 – Seat Belt Locking Retractor Page 2 The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) on about 8,379 of the above vehicles may contain suspect ALR levers that may affect the ALR function of the seat belt retractor. The condition above fails to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 S7.1.1.5 requires that, “Each designated seating position, shall have a seat belt assembly whose lap belt portion is lockable so that the seat belt assembly can be used to tightly secure a child restraint system.” Vehicles built with suspect seat belt retractors may not meet the requirement. For VM models: Inspect the front passenger side, rear left and right outboard and rear center seat belt, follow section A. Automatic Locking Retractor Inspection Procedure, to determine if the ALR is defective and needs to be replaced. If inspection of any of the seat belts determine a defective seat belt(s), please provide the required information to the email address below. NOTE: Parts can only be ordered through campaignteam@fcagroup.com. Please provide: 1) VIN 2) Seating position of defective seat belt (e.g. 2nd row center/left/right, etc.) 3) Dealer Code. The campaign team will review and ship the requested parts. Very few vehicles are expected to require seat belt replacement. Subject Repair Parts Information Safety Recall Y61 – Seat Belt Locking Retractor Page 3 No parts return required for this campaign. No special tools required to perform the procedure. Parts Return Special Tools Safety Recall Y61 – Seat Belt Locking Retractor Page 4 A. (VM Model) Automatic Locking Retractor Inspection Procedure NOTE: Repeat steps 1 thru 5, five consecutive times. NOTE: Position the passenger seat belt height adjuster to the full down position first, then position the seat in the full rear position. 1. Buckle the seat belt over the empty seat and remove all slack from seat belt (Figure 1). 2. Place a binder clip at the D-Ring if checking the outboard seating positions or at the seat mounted Web Guide for the center seating position (Figure 2). Service Procedure Figure 1 – Seat Belt Buckled Figure 2 – Binder Clip Attached BUCKLE SEAT BELT D-RING Safety Recall Y61 – Seat Belt Locking Retractor Page 5 3. Pull out a small amount of webbing, and place a second binder clip 8 inches (203mm) away for 1st Row or 12 inches (305mm) away in the 2nd Row to establish your control point for determining if the ALR deactivation is in specification or not (Figure 3). 4. Slowly extract all of the seat belt webbing from retractor until no more webbing will pull out. At this point the ALR mode for securing a child seat will be activated and you will hear an audible ratcheting or clicking noise as the seat belt begins to retract. 5. Slowly allow the seat belt to retract, and after every 1-2 inches of webbing is retracted, gently pull on the webbing to verify the retract is still locked (ALR mode still engaged). If the retractor remains in ALR mode (locked – webbing can’t be freely extracted) upon reaching the nearest binder clip that was placed on the webbing, then the retractor is OK and is capable of securing a child seat. If the retractor switches out of ALR mode (unlocked – can freely extract webbing) before reaching the nearest binder clip, then retractor is NOK, and must be replaced. Proceed to seat belt replacement procedure section below. Front (Passenger) ALR – Reference Section B, page 6. Rear Center ALR – Reference Section C, page 13.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL Seat Belt Locking Retractor Dear [Name], This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. FCA US has decided that certain [2021 Model Year (VM) Ram ProMaster City] vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208 S7.1.1.5 requires that, “Each designated seating position, shall have a seat belt assembly whose lap belt portion is lockable so that the seat belt assembly can be used to tightly secure a child restraint system”. It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS? The seat belts in your vehicle [1] may contain seat belt retractors with suspect Automatic Locking Retractor (“ALR”) levers that may affect the ALR function of the seat belt retractor. The ALR may deactivate earlier than intended and a child seat may not tightly secure to the vehicle seat. HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE? FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect the suspect seat belts and replace as needed. The estimated repair time is about one hour. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time.
