What is being recalled
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles. The lashing rails on the side walls may not have been properly installed, possibly resulting in the lashing rails detaching.
Why it is dangerous
If the lashing rails disconnect, the cargo could become unsecured, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will correctly affix the lashing rails to the side walls, free of charge. DVUSA issued owners an interim notification on February 7, 2020. The recall began April 15, 2020. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VS3ZUSCHI.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 19V-908 when calling a dealer.
