Inspect Frame Reinforcement
This is to notify you of a Recall Campaign to inspect the Frame Reinforcement on approximately 130 MY 2019-2021 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.
Issue
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Freightliner
Sprinter
Vans, has determined that on certain Sprinter
(907 platform) vehicles, the longitudinal frame members of the body-in-white might not meet specifications. Missing reinforcements might lead to damage in the rear area of the longitudinal frame members. Over me, impairment of driving stability cannot be ruled out. In addition, vehicles equipped with a bench seat in the 3rd passenger seat row, could experience a failure of the seat mountings in the event of a crash. In this case, the risk of injury would increase.
What Weโre Doing
DVUSA will conduct a voluntary recall. As a precautionary measure, an authorized Freightliner Sprinter
dealer will check the longitudinal frame members on the affected vehicles and rework them, if necessary.
Parts
Parts are available and can be ordered as necessary.
Given this noce, it is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell or lease any new Sprinter vehicles in dealer inventory covered by this notification unl the vehicle has been repaired.
Loaner and demonstrator vehicles may continue to be driven, but must not be retailed unl repaired.
Additionally, given this noce, it is a violation of Federal Law for rental companies to rent new Sprinter vehicles covered by this notification unl the vehicle has been repaired.
