2019 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has 10 recalls, the most serious being an exhaust flange connection that can leak hot gases into the engine compartment and start a fire, and a park lock software error that can allow the vehicle to roll away after being shifted into Park. A separate mechanical issue compounds the rollaway concern: on vehicles with a manual parking brake and 7-speed automatic transmission, the parking pawl's guide bushing can fatigue and fail to engage, also allowing the vehicle to roll. On the fuel side, a loose fuel pump can leak diesel onto the road, creating a slip hazard for other drivers. There is also a hood attachment concern on certain vehicles where, in a crash, the hood can strike the windshield and intrude into the cabin. Electrical and display issues cover several recalls: the backup camera can show a black screen or fail to load after startup, and the instrument cluster brightness may be stuck too high in low-light conditions, making it hard to read. A door jamb component on some vehicles was installed incorrectly and can make the doors harder to open after a frontal impact. Vehicles delivered with winter tires may have had them fitted incorrectly, reducing traction on wet or snowy roads. The owner's manual on certain vehicles may contain inaccurate or incomplete information about vehicle functions.
