2021 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 1500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a wiring harness that can chafe against the transmission carrier and cause an electrical short, raising the risk of a fire. Missing reinforcement fasteners in the longitudinal frame members can reduce vehicle stability and cause third-row seat mountings to fail in a crash, putting rear passengers at risk. On the body side, a paint formula issue means windows and interior lashing rails may not bond properly to the vehicle, so a window can detach in a crash and cargo secured to interior rails can break loose. There is also a labeling recall: the tire and loading label on certain vehicles may state an incorrect gross vehicle weight rating, which can lead operators to overload the vehicle and accelerate tire wear.
