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.
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.
Software updates to multiple vehicle control modules.
