Replace Fuel Delivery Module
This is to notify you of a Recall Campaign Launch to replace the fuel delivery module on approximately 8,181 MY 2021-2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris 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, the manufacturer of Metris vans, has determined that on certain Metris (447 platform) vehicles the fuel pump impeller might not meet specifications in regards to material characteristics. As a consequence, the impeller might deform and come into contact with the fuel pump housing, leading to a mechanical resistance. In some instances, this could lead to a shutdown of the fuel pump. As a result, the vehicle could lose propulsion, which could increase the risk of a crash or injury.
What We’re Doing
As a precautionary measure, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers will check the fuel delivery module on the affected vehicles and replace it, if necessary.

In the beginning of June 2022, MBAG launched initial investigations based on individual field reports from outside the US alleging inconsistent power delivery. MBAG hypothesized that, the function of the fuel pump might have been impaired without having any initial indications in regards to common influencing factors on the field cases in this relation. In July 2022, MBAG began retrieving fuel pumps from affected vehicles in the field and analyzing them in coordination with the supplier. Over the next several months, MBAG conducted analyses of the material together with the supplier, as well as the production processes at the supplier and its sub-suppliers. Through the end of the year, MBAG conducted numerous and varied tests in coordination with its tier one supplier, including fuel swelling behavior, structural damage and notched impact resistance tests. In December 2022, these intensive analyses and tests identified an irregularity in individual raw material batches used for the suspect fuel pump impellers, sourced from a sub-supplier. Based on that determination, in January 2023, MBAG’s supplier of the suspect fuel pump started investigations to identify the potentially affected vehicle population by tracking the material flow within the multi-supplier chain from the raw material sub-supplier up to the fuel pump manufacturer. At the same time, the fuel pump supplier implemented several changes in its production process, including a replacement of the raw material supplier, changing the injection molding process at the injection molding supplier and implementing more quality controls within the supplier chain. Through May 2023, MBAG and its fuel pump supplier conducted further testing and analyses to identify potential influencing factors and determine potential consequences of material and process anomalies at different steps of the production process. In May 2023, MBAG’s fuel pump supplier determined the scope of potentially affected fuel pumps, which was then used to identify the potentially affected vehicle population.
On June 16, 2023, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall.
MBAG is currently aware of 330 warranty claims/field reports/service reports received from 1/25/2022 to 5/23/2023. MBAG is not aware of any claims of injury, crashes or death worldwide due to this malfunction.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your vehicle
VIN:
Replace Fuel Pump
NHTSA Recall #23V444
• A safety defect exists in your vehicle.
• Remedy parts are not yet available for your vehicle.
• We will contact you acain once parts are available.
Dear Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Owner: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year 2021-2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in the affected population of vehicles. What is the Concern?
On certain Sprinter vehicles, the fuel pump impeller might deform and contact the fuel pump housing, resulting in mechanical resistance to the impeller. This could cause the fuel pump to stop operating. As a result, the vehicle could lose drive power, which could increase the risk of a crash or injury. Before the fuel pump is switched off, the driver may be made aware of a malfunction by a warning message in the instrument cluster and might notice a roughly running engine.
Unfortunately, the parts to remedy this are not yet available.
We are working to obtain the necessary parts to replace the fuel pump as quickly as possible. As replacement parts become available, we will send you another letter asking you to take your vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer to have the recall completed free of charge. A vehicle identification number (VIN)-based recall lookup tool on our website offers a search function that will indicate whether a vehicle has been subject to a safety recall, and whether that vehicle has had the free remedy performed.
Please visit www.mbvans.com/en/recall-information. Should you have any questions or encounter any difficulty regarding this Recall Campaign, please contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. If for any reason a dealer is unable to remedy your situation, we are always happy to hear from you. Please contact us at 1-(800) FOR-MERCEDES (1-800-367-6372). In the event that you are no longer the vehicle owner, or have had a change of address, please complete the reverse side and return the updated information in the enclosed envelope. If this is a leased vehicle and the lessor and registered owner receive this notice, please forward this information by first class mail to the lessee within 10 business days to comply with Federal Regulations.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your vehicle
VIN:
Replace Fuel Pump
NHTSA Recall #23V444
• A safety defect exists in your vehicle.
• Remedy parts are not yet available for your vehicle.
• We will contact you acain once parts are available.
Dear Mercedes-Benz Metris Owner: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz Metris vans, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year 2021-2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris vehicles. Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in the affected population of vehicles. What is the Concern?
On certain Metris vehicles, the fuel pump impeller might deform and contact the fuel pump housing, resulting in mechanical resistance to the impeller. This could cause the fuel pump to stop operating. As a result, the vehicle could lose drive power, which could increase the risk of a crash or injury. Before the fuel pump is switched off, the driver may be made aware of a malfunction by a warning message in the instrument cluster and might notice a roughly running engine. Unfortunately, the parts to remedy this are not yet available.
We are working to obtain the necessary parts to replace the fuel pump as quickly as possible. As replacement parts become available, we will send you another letter asking you to take your vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer to have the recall completed free of charge. A vehicle identification number (VIN)-based recall lookup tool on our website offers a search function that will indicate whether a vehicle has been subject to a safety recall, and whether that vehicle has had the free remedy performed.
Please visit www.mbvans.com/en/recall-information. Should you have any questions or encounter any difficulty regarding this Recall Campaign, please contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. If for any reason a dealer is unable to remedy your situation, we are always happy to hear from you. Please contact us at 1-(800) FOR-MERCEDES (1-800-367-6372). In the event that you are no longer the vehicle owner, or have had a change of address, please complete the reverse side and return the updated information in the enclosed envelope. If this is a leased vehicle and the lessor and registered owner receive this notice, please forward this information by first class mail to the lessee within 10 business days to comply with Federal Regulations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and look forward to taking care of this important safety issue immediately.

Description of the Defect : Mercedes-Benz AG has determined that on certain Metris (447 platform) and Sprinter (907 platform) vehicles the fuel pump impeller might not meet specifications in regards to material characteristics.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : As a consequence, the impeller might deform. It might therefore come into
contact with the fuel pump housing, leading to a mechanical resistance. In some instances, this could lead to a shutdown of the fuel pump. As a result, the vehicle could lose propulsion, and increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Description of the Cause : Due to a deviation in the production process of a sub-supplier, certain fuel pump impellers might not meet the material requirements, and thus certain batches of fuel delivery modules might not meet the durability properties. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : Before the fuel pump is switched off, the driver may be made aware of a malfunction by a warning message in the instrument cluster and might notice the engine running rough. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : Fuel Delivery Module Component Description : NR
