The 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a risk that both the driver and front passenger airbag inflators can rupture during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin.
Both the driver-side and passenger-side frontal airbag inflators are affected. If either airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator casing can burst and scatter metal fragments toward anyone seated in the front of the vehicle, with the potential for serious injury or death. There is also a concern with vehicles equipped with an emergency exit window: the adhesive bonding the glass to its top hinge can weaken over time, allowing the window to separate from the body entirely and fall, posing a risk of injury to anyone nearby.
