The 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving rear axle U-bolts that can weaken and allow the rear axle to shift out of position, causing loss of vehicle control.
The frame also has a structural concern: certain longitudinal frame members may lack adequate reinforcement, which can reduce the vehicle's ability to protect occupants in a crash by allowing more deformation than intended. On the braking side, welds on the parking brake cable bracket can fail and release the parking brake entirely, leaving the vehicle free to roll away on any incline where it is left unattended.
