Daimler Vans USA is recalling approximately 9 model year 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles. The connection between the propeller shaft bearing and the crossmember may loosen, which can significantly reduce the driver's control over the vehicle. If you own one of these specific vehicles, a dealer will inspect and replace the crossmember as necessary, free of charge.
A loose crossmember connection reduces vehicle control, which increases the likelihood of a crash. Furthermore, in the event of a crash, the propeller shaft could damage the fuel tank, causing a fuel leak and increasing the risk of a fire.
