2006 Sprinter 2500 & 2006 Sprinter 3500 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks built on dodge and freightliner chassis, the brake fluid used was contaminated with coolant. Due to the high water content the boiling point of the subject brake fluid is reduced.
💥 The risk
This may affect the proper function of the brake system during hard braking situations and may lead to an increasing brake distance which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will flush and replace the brake fluid free of charge. The recall began on july 17, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-704-655-1000.
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.)
