Daimler Vans USA, LLC is recalling certain 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 3500 vehicles due to air bags issues. If additional air bags do not deploy as intended, the occupants are at an increased risk of injury..
Summary derived from NHTSA notice
Reason for Recall
As stated by NHTSA
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans. These vehicles were manufactured without a reinforcement plate and protective bracket on the air bag control unit. As a result, the air bag control unit may not remain functional after the initial impact, possibly preventing additional air bags from deploying in response to a secondary impact.
Reported concern (NHTSA)
If additional air bags do not deploy as intended, the occupants are at an increased risk of injury.
Recommended Action
Per NHTSA guidance
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement plate and protective bracket around the air bag control unit, free of charge. The recall began on May 26, 2017. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267.
