The 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has two recalls, the more serious affecting certain eSprinter electric models where a faulty weld in the rear axle can cause a sudden loss of drive power or allow the vehicle to roll away while parked.
The second recall also applies to electric variants: a software problem in the brake booster's failsafe system can cause a sudden spike in the force needed to press the brake pedal, which extends stopping distances and raises the risk of a crash.
