PARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE
- The defect
- Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter vehicles. The welds on the helical gear within the rear axle drivetrain may fail, causing a loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. In addition, drivetrain failure can result in a vehicle rollaway if the parking brake is not applied, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rear axle electric drivetrain, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 5, 2025. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 877-762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is V3ESCHWEI.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to 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 689 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 54% 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, 2024, 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 parking brake 2 times before this, most recently in September 2024 as 24V688000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 24V316000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
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 14, 2025 as campaign 25V090000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
