Daimler Vans USA is recalling approximately 131 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles from the 2021-2023 model years. A defect in the topcoat paint formula can cause windows and interior lashing rails (used for securing cargo) to be insufficiently bonded to the vehicle body. This issue was identified through manufacturing quality checks, and dealers will inspect the paint adhesion and perform necessary repairs free of charge.
If the bonding fails, a window could detach from the vehicle during a crash, or heavy objects secured to the interior rails could break free. Both scenarios significantly increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants or bystanders.
You have 2 options:
Paint adhesion inspection and repair
Vehicle repurchase
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
