EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) may be improperly stated on the tire and loading label. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims-Other Than Passenger Cars."
- What it can cause
- The operator may overload the vehicle, resulting in excessive tire wear and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace, as necessary, the tire and loading information label. Additionally, tires will be inspected for excessive wear and replaced as necessary. All repairs will be conducted free of charge. Interim owner notifications were mailed to owners on March 4, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 21, 2022. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VS3RE58HIN.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 2,564 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 68% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 18 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V288000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 62 complaints with NHTSA, 7 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 17 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V930000 (electrical system), 23V876000 (structure), 23V875000 (structure), 23V806000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Daimler Vans USA, LLC with NHTSA on February 9, 2022 as campaign 22V073000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
