Campaign No. : Campaign Desc. : Replace Fuel Delivery Module 2023090004 VS3KRAPUMP This is to notify you of a Recall Campaign Launch to replace the fuel delivery module on approximately 1,121 MY 2021 Freightliner Sprinter vans. The recall campaign will be visible on the www.safercar.gov website and may generate questions from customers. All affected VINs will be flagged as “OPEN” in VMI and cannot be sold until the recall has been remedied. Background Issue Mercedes-Benz AG, the manufacturer of Sprinter vans, has determined that on certain Sprinter (907 platform) vehicles the fuel pump impeller might not meet specifications in regards to material characteristics. As a consequence, the impeller might deform and come into contact with the fuel pump housing, leading to a mechanical resistance. In some instances, this could lead to a shutdown of the fuel pump. As a result, the vehicle could lose propulsion, which could increase the risk of a crash or injury. What We’re Doing As a precautionary measure, DVUSA will check the fuel delivery module on the affected vehicles and replace it, if necessary. Parts Parts are available and can be ordered as necessary.
