2019 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 4500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4500 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving seat-mounted side airbags on vehicles equipped with swivel seats, where damaged wiring can cause the airbag to fire unexpectedly or fail to deploy in a crash. Two recalls affect rear visibility: on certain vehicles, the rearview camera may not display an image at all due to a software error, and on models equipped with the Connect 5 multimedia system, the camera image may take longer than two seconds to appear when reversing, both of which reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. There is also a communication system concern: a software error in the cellular module's SIM card can disable the automatic emergency call feature, meaning the vehicle cannot connect to emergency services after a crash.
