The 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has two recalls, both involving airbag inflators that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Both the driver and front passenger frontal airbag inflators are affected. In either case, if the airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator can burst apart rather than inflate normally, turning metal pieces into hazards for anyone in the front seats.
At a glance
What can fail
The passenger front air bag inflator may rupture when deployed in a crash because the propellant degrades over time from exposure to humidity and temperature changes.
What the fix does
The dealer will replace the front passenger air bag at no charge.
