5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies concerns that may affect stability, crash protection, steering, fire response, seat retention, vehicle loading, and spare-tire security on specific 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter configurations. A disabled ESC system or missed Crosswind Assist intervention could affect control, while missing welds or air bag inflator failures could increase injury risk in a crash. A loose spare-tire holder can become a road hazard, and a leaking power-steering hose can reduce steering assistance. Waiting leaves a known safety concern unresolved. Bring your van to an authorized dealer for a VIN check and the manufacturer remedy before the issue creates a greater risk.
