Campaign No. 2020020012, February 2020
TO:
ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS
SUBJECT:
Model 907 (Sprinter), Model Year 2019
Seat Adjuster Weld Seam
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vans, has determined that
on certain Sprinter vehicles (platform 907 (VS30)), a seam on the height adjustment of the
front seats may not have been sufficiently welded. This weld seam could break in the event of
a crash, and the seat cushion might shift forwards. If this were to occur, the functionality of
the restraint system might be impaired, which could increase the risk of injury for the
occupant. An authorized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dealer will replace the tilt adjuster of the
front seats on the affected vehicles.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
 Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been
previously repaired.
 Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin and follow the repair procedure exactly as
described.
Please note that Recall Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with
a vehicle status indicator.
Approximately 3 vehicles are involved.
Order No. V-RC-2020020012
This bulletin has been created and maintained in accordance with MBUSA-SLP
S423QH001, Document and Data Control, and MBUSA-SLP S424HH001, Control of Quality
Records.
