The hood over the engine compartment may unexpectedly open while the vehicle is being driven. This is because the screw connection on the upper hood catch may have been improperly tightened. If the hood opens while driving, visibility of the driver will be obstructed, which can result in an accident.
Recall repairs on your Sprinter must be performed by a Sprinter dealership. Daimler Vans USA will notify known owners of affected vehicles beginning in November, 2019. If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Sprinter dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with. The Daimler Vans recall designation is VS3HAUBOSS.
