The 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has two recalls, the more serious being a timing chain tensioner gasket failure on four-cylinder diesel models that can leak oil onto hot engine surfaces, raising the risk of fire and potential engine failure.
The second recall affects cargo vans sold by Mercedes-Benz Mississauga and up-fitted by Total Autoglass, where an added bench seat may have been installed without proper attachment or corrosion protection. Over time, the seat can loosen and detach, raising the risk of injury in a crash.
