⚠️ What's wrong

Mercedes benz is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2010 2500 and 3500 Sprinter vehicles. The correct interior trim covering the a-pillars may not have been installed.

Mercedes-Benz will check to see if the correct trim cover was installed and, if not, replace that trim cover with the correct one. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during february 2011. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz at 843-695-5000.

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.)
