Internal Campaign No. : Campaign Desc. : 2023070007 PDGKRAPUMP Replace Fuel Delivery Module (23V444) This is to notify you of an Initial Recall Campaign to replace fuel delivery module on approximately 11,191 Sprinter & 8,182 Metris vehicles ranging from MY 2021-2023. The recall campaign will be visible on the www.safercar.gov website and may generate questions from customers. All affected VINs will be flagged as "PENDING" in VMI and cannot be sold. Background Issue Mercedes-Benz AG has determined that on certain Metris (447 platform) and Sprinter (907 platform) vehicles, the fuel pump impeller might not meet specifications in regards to material characteristics. As a consequence, the impeller might deform. It might therefore come into contact with the fuel pump housing, leading to a mechanical resistance. In some instances, this could lead to a shutdown of the fuel pump. As a result, the vehicle could lose propulsion, and increase the risk of a crash or injury. What We’re Doing MBUSA is conducting a voluntary recall. A Mercedes-Benz dealer will replace the fuel delivery module on the affected vehicles. Remedy The remedy is not available at this time. An additional notification will be sent once the remedy is available.
