2023–2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 & 2023–2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 + 2 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. The spring U-bolts for the rear axle may have reduced strength due to improper heat-treatment, which can cause the rear axle to shift out of position.
💥 The risk
An axle that moves out of position can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the spring U-bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 23, 2024. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VS3FEDERB.
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.)
