2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500 & 2007 Dodge Sprinter 3500 + 4 more recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain utility vans, the crankshaft sensor in certain diesel engines could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor. This results in an interruption in the electrical connection in the chip housing of the sensor.
💥 The risk
When this happens, the vehicles may lose power rather than enter a limp-home mode. In addition, the vehicle cannot be restarted after failure of the electrical connection in the sensor, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensors. The recall began on march 3, 2008. Owners may contact Sprinter at 1-800-992-1997.
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.)
