2018 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 1500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a hood latch screw that may not be properly tightened, allowing the hood to fly open while driving and blocking the driver's view. The rear side windows on certain vehicles may be single-pane safety glass rather than the required laminated glass, which means the windows are more likely to break apart in a side impact or rollover and fail to prevent rear passengers from being ejected. There is also a labeling issue on the spare tire: the maximum speed rating may be printed in kilometers per hour rather than miles per hour, which could lead a driver to use the spare at speeds higher than it can safely handle.
