Swivel Seat Wire Harness Routing
This is to notify you of the Recall Campaign Launch to reroute the swivel seat wire harness on approximately 350 MY 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. The recall campaign will be visible on the www.safercar.gov website and may generate questions from customers.
All affected VINs will be flagged “OPEN” in VMI and CANNOT BE SOLD until the recall has been remedied.
Issue
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles, has determined that on certain Sprinter (907 platform) vehicles equipped with electrically adjustable front swivel-seats, the electrical wiring harness might become damaged over time when a front swivel seat is adjusted. In the event of a damaged wiring harness, it cannot be ruled out that the function of the side airbag installed in the seat back might be impaired. This could increase the risk of injury.
What We’re Doing
MBUSA will conduct a voluntary recall. As a precautionary measure, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership will inspect the installation of the wiring harness and will attach it properly.
Remedy
Remedy is available
Given this notice, it is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell or lease any new vehicles in dealer inventory covered by this notification until the vehicle has been repaired.

Chronology :
At the end of February 2022, based on an internal Mercedes-Benz audit at a production plant, MBAG found that in certain Sprinter (907 platform) vehicles with both electrically adjustable front seats and a swivel seat frame, the wiring harness on the rotary frame was not routed with the necessary length to the seat adjustment motor.
As a result, the seat adjustment motor might contact the retaining clip of the electrical wiring harness and
might damage the electrical wiring harness over time when a front swivel seat is adjusted.
All vehicles that had not been released from the plant were checked and reworked as needed to meet the routing specification of the wiring harness.
Also at that time, MBAG implemented adjustments in the production process to ensure the wiring harness was installed according to the specification.
In May 2022, MBAG introduced a new mounting clip for the electrical wiring harness in production to eliminate the risk of wiring damage due to contact with the seat adjustment motor.
Though MBAG received no field reports related to damage to the wiring harness, beginning in July 2022 the company initiated an evaluation of the potential consequences of damage to the wiring harness during vehicle operation. When that analysis identified potential effects on side airbag functioning, the company conducted further investigations and tests in order to identify a potential root cause, failure mechanism and potential impact on airbag performance.
Based on the above investigations and analyses, in late 2022 and early 2023 MBAG identified the population of vehicles potentially affected by damage to the wiring harness.
On February 10, 2023, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall.
MBAG is aware of no warranty claims, field or service reports, or reports of property damage, death or injury related to this defect.

Background
Issue
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles, has determined that
on certain Sprinter (907 platform) vehicles equipped with electrically adjustable front swivel-seats, the
electrical wiring harness might become damaged over time when a front swivel seat is adjusted. In the
event of a damaged wiring harness, it cannot be ruled out that the function of the side airbag installed in
the seat back might be impaired. This could increase the risk of injury.

Country : NR Chronology :
At the end of February 2022, based on an internal Mercedes-Benz audit at a production plant, MBAG found that in certain Sprinter (907 platform) vehicles with both electrically adjustable front seats and a swivel seat frame, the wiring harness on the rotary frame was not routed with the necessary length to the seat adjustment motor. As a result, the seat adjustment motor might contact the retaining clip of the electrical wiring harness and might damage the electrical wiring harness over time when a front swivel seat is adjusted.
All vehicles that had not been released from the plant were checked and reworked as needed to meet the routing specification of the wiring harness.
Also at that time, MBAG implemented adjustments in the production process to ensure the wiring harness was installed according to the specification.
In May 2022, MBAG introduced a new mounting clip for the electrical wiring harness in production to eliminate the risk of wiring damage due to contact with the seat adjustment motor.
Though MBAG received no field reports related to damage to the wiring harness, beginning in July 2022 the company initiated an evaluation of the potential consequences of damage to the wiring harness during vehicle operation. When that analysis identified potential effects on side airbag functioning, the company conducted further investigations and tests in order to identify a potential root cause, failure mechanism and potential impact on airbag performance.
Based on the above investigations and analyses, in late 2022 and early 2023 MBAG identified the population of vehicles potentially affected by damage to the wiring harness. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-101

The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
On February 10, 2023, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall.
MBAG is aware of no warranty claims, field or service reports, or reports of property damage, death or injury related to this defect.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : As a precautionary measure, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership will
inspect the installation of the wiring harness and will attach it properly. If customer has already paid to have this recall condition corrected, they may be eligible to receive reimbursement. Requests for reimbursement may include parts, labor, fees and taxes. Reimbursement may be limited to the amount the repair would have cost if completed by an authorized Sprinter dealer.
