SUBJECT: | Model 907 Sprinter, Model Year 2020 Check Torque on Front Door Hinge Screws |
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz
vans, has determined that on certain Sprinter vehicles from platform 907 (VS30), the screws for the front door hinges may not have been tightened according to specification. If the door hinge screws are not tightened with the specified amount of torque, it’s possible that the pre-tensioning force of the screw could decrease and eventually cause a change in the opening/closing behavior of the door as well as changes in door gap dimensions. This could increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
• Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.
• Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin and follow the repair procedure exactly as described.
Please note that Recall Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
Approximately 2,016 vehicles are involved.
