What is being recalled
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain model year 2016 Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles manufactured March 1, 2016, to May 31, 2016. The bolts connecting the lower seat belt connection to the rear bench seat may not have been properly tightened.
Why it is dangerous
If the bolts were not properly tightened, the seat belt may fail to secure the seat occupant in the event of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DVUSA will notify owners, and Sprinter dealers will inspect the connecting bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 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-670 when calling a dealer.
