What is being recalled
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2019 Metris vans [platform 447 (VS20)] with gasoline engines and automatic transmissions. The driveshaft may not be attached to the intermediate bearing correctly, causing excessive wear to the driveshaft joint and excessive vibrations.
Why it is dangerous
Damage to the driveshaft joint could result in a loss of drive, increasing the risk of a crash. Excessive vibrations may cause the frontal air bags to deploy unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury.
