2002–2005 Sprinter 2500 recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong

💥 The risk
Such cracking may lead to a loss of air pressure at the valve stem, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the tire valves on all sprinter vehicles. The recall began on april 4, 2005. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
