Daimler Vans USA, LLC: Sprinter Vans Recalled for Vehicle Rollaway Risk

Agency Publication Date: October 21, 2022

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Daimler Vans USA is recalling approximately 124,305 vehicles, including 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter models. These vehicles are equipped with a manual parking brake and a 7-speed automatic transmission that may experience a mechanical failure. A specific component called the guide bushing on the parking pawl can wear out over time, preventing the transmission from locking into the 'Park' position. Dealers will provide a free software update to multiple control modules to address the issue.

Risk

The worn guide bushing can prevent the parking pawl from engaging, which allows the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly after being parked. This unintended movement significantly increases the risk of a crash and potential injury to people outside or inside the vehicle.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's make and model year to see if you own a 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Freightliner Sprinter equipped with a manual parking brake and 7-speed automatic transmission.
  2. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner dealer to schedule a free service appointment to update the software for the electronic stability, transmission control, direct select module, and electronic ignition switch units.
  3. If you have additional questions, contact Daimler Vans USA (DVUSA) customer service at 1-877-762-8267 and reference recall numbers 22V2790611, 22V2790612, or 22V2790613.
