What is being recalled
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles manufactured May 31, 2015, to April 30, 2016, and 2015-2016 Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles manufactured May 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. The affected vehicles are configured to have super-high roofs, but may not be equipped with the required crash pads.
Why it is dangerous
If the required crash pads are missing, it can increase the risk of injury to a front passenger seat occupant if they are unbelted.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will install the required crash-pads, free of charge. The recall began on August 11, 2016. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 16V-351 when calling a dealer.
