| Defect summary | Daimler vans usa, llc (dvusa) is recalling certain 2013-2016 mercedes-benz sprinter 2500 and 3500 and freightliner sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans. These vehicles were manufactured without a reinforcement plate and protective bracket on the air bag control unit. As a result, the air bag control unit may not remain functional after the initial impact, possibly preventing additional air bags from deploying in response to a secondary impact. |
| Consequence summary | If additional air bags do not deploy as intended, the occupants are at an increased risk of injury. |
| Corrective action | Dvusa will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement plate and protective bracket around the air bag control unit, free of charge. The recall began on may 26, 2017. Owners may contact dvusa customer service at 1-877-762-8267. |
| Recall notes | Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153). |
