2011 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 3500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 has 3 recalls, the most serious being defective airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death. The airbag inflator issue affects both frontal airbags, and prior repair attempts have not fully resolved the problem across all affected vehicles. There is also a seat safety concern affecting vehicles equipped with Freedman GO-3S foldaway seats: the seat back cushion can fail to lock into the upright position and may fold forward under load in a crash or sudden stop, leaving the occupant without proper support.
