NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V093
Manufacturer Daimler Vans USA, LLC
Components AIR BAGS
Potential Number of Units Affected 15,338
Air Bag Control Unit may be Damaged in a Crash
If additional air bags do not deploy as intended, the occupants are at an increased risk of injury.
Summary
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Mercedes-Benz
Sprinter 2500 and 3500 and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans.
These vehicles were manufactured without a reinforcement plate and protective bracket on the air bag control unit.
As a result, the air bag control unit may not remain functional after the initial impact, possibly preventing additional air bags from deploying in response to a secondary impact.
Remedy
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement plate and protective bracket around the air bag control unit, free of charge.
The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
