The 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has 3 recalls, with the most serious being damaged brake hoses that can leak fluid over time, causing a soft pedal, reduced stopping power, and loss of stability when braking hard.
Two structural recalls round out the list. Front door hinge screws on certain vehicles may not have been tightened to spec, meaning the hinges can fail to hold properly in a crash and raise the risk of injury to occupants. There is also a concern with the cargo partition wall, which on a small number of vehicles may not be properly secured and can shift or break free in a crash, sending cargo forward into the passenger area.
