 ===== known issues =====
-Many issues were rectified after 2014.
-  * 2014 - Squealing brakes((http://www.promasterforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54593)).
-  * 2014 - parking brakes sticking in freezing temperatures
-  * Headlight failures, possibly from heat in the headlight assembly.  Using the low beams as daytime running lights will exacerbate the issue.
-There is [[http://www.promasterforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45193|a list of TSBs on the Promaster Forum]].
+See the Promaster entry on the [[rv:van_issues|All Vans Have Issues]] page.
