What this means for you

Plain-English summary
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is recalling certain model year 2015 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles manufactured between July 1, 2014, and October 14, 2014. The recall involves a total of 5,586 vehicles.
The defect involves the abutting wedge, a component attached to the door jamb designed to make opening the door easier after a severe frontal impact. In the affected vehicles, this component may have been installed incorrectly. If a vehicle with this defect is involved in a severe frontal accident, a greater force may be necessary to open the doors, which increases the risk of injury.
Sprinter will notify owners, and dealers will check the installation of the abutting wedge and correct it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in March 2015. Owners may contact Sprinter customer service at 1-877-762-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
