Plain-English summary
Daimler Vans USA, LLC is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans. The affected vehicles were manufactured between April 29, 2015, and December 15, 2015. The recall involves 2,278 vehicles.
The defect is a tire pressure label that incorrectly states a higher maximum load capacity than the vehicle is designed for. If the vehicle is loaded to the incorrect weight shown on the label, it may be overloaded. This condition can result in axle or tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner dealers will replace the incorrect tire pressure label free of charge. The recall began in March 2016. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
