• Recall 136790 [USA]: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
  Daimler vans usa, llc (dvusa) is recalling certain 2013 freightliner sprinter 2500 and 3500 and mercedes-benz sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

• Recall R/2014/014 [UK]: Vehicle stability may be affected
  It has been established that on certain models of ncv3 (5-ton) vehicles fitted with air suspension from the vb airsuspension company have a high risk of a fracturing of the weld seam on the rear axle spring saddle. In the unlikely event that this occurs then the rear axle can become loose and take on a self-steering behaviour which could affect vehicle control or stability.

• Recall 2021050 [Canada]: Electrical
  Issue: on certain recreational vehicles (rvs) and camper van conversions, moisture could cause a rear wheel speed sensor to fail. If this happens, the electronic stability program (esp) control unit may not work properly. Note: a malfunction of the esp control unit can cause the esp or abs warning lights to turn on, and a "workshop assistance" message could appear in the instrument cluster. Safety risk: a stability control system that does not work properly could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the rear wheel speed sensors with an improved part.

• Recall 2017069 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, a reinforcement plate and the protective bracket may not have been installed on the airbag control unit. This could cause the airbag control unit to become damaged in the event of a frontal impact. If this occurs, this could prevent the airbag system to work properly in the event of a secondary impact requiring the deployment of additional airbags which could increasing the risk of injury to the occupants. Correction: dealers will install the reinforcement plate with the protective bracket.

• Recall 2019455 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: on certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective action: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag module replaced. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected. Additional note: this recall supersedes recall 2018-648.

• Recall 2016159 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the front driver air bag module. Note: this recall is superseded by recall 2019454. Please see recall 2019454 for more information.

• Rear wheel speed sensor failure investigation # PE20014

  The office of defects investigation (odi) analyzed complaint data provided by daimler vans usa, llc (daimler) as well as complaints submitted to odi from consumers to identify incidents related to rear wheel speed sensors (rwss) failures. Odis analysis identified 6,710 incidents of rwss failure (unique vins) in my 2012-2018 mercedes- benz and freightliner sprinter vehicles upfitted to campers or recreational vehicles (rvs) representing 81 percent of all sprinter rwss reports. Complaint and warranty analysis indicated that the majority of incidents (approximately 99%) were related to rwss moisture intrusion condition in the sprinter 3500 5-ton variant, which accounts for 98 percent of upfit campers, where moisture build-up and crystal dendrite formation develop in parked rvs and lead to sensor failures. According to the daimler information request (ir) response, if the wheel speed information is detected as implausible by the electronic stability program (esp) control unit, the esp system enters a failsafe mode where:-driver torque requests are no longer accepted;-cruise control, if used, would be deactivated; -the esp/abs system shuts off; and -multiple warning lamps and messages advise the operator to take the vehicle to the workshop. While the majority of reports involved only abs and/or esp warning lights and messages on the instrument cluster due to faulty sensor signals triggering a failsafe mode, some reports cited intermittent sensor failures resulting in increased vehicle speed while in cruise control and degraded abs or esp. Degraded esp functionality may impact driving stability of the 5-ton vehicle.On feb 3, 2021, following discussion with odi, daimler submitted a defect information report (dir) to nhtsa describing a defect in the rwss disabling the esp control unit functions in approximately 48,667 my 2012 through 2018 mercedes-benz and freightliner sprinter 3500 vehicles manufactured from jan 4, 2012 through oct 25, 2018 (recall 21v-042). In its dir, daimler indicated that rwss sensor failures are prevalent in camper vans due to sustained periods of non-use, during which time the moisture may not dry out, remaining inside the plastic housing package. If the moisture within the rwss dries and the rwss returns to normal operation, the failsafe mode and the warning lights will disappear at the next ignition cycle, but the sensor fault remains stored within the esp control unit and can be accessed through a diagnostic evaluation. Odi will continue to monitor field experience in sprinter non-rvs and sprinter 2500 rvs 3-ton and 3.5-ton variants (approximately 626 vehicles).Daimler will notify owners of the recalled vehicles and advise them to take their vehicle to a mercedes-benz or freightliner sprinter dealer, who will replace the rwss with a repackaged sensor with high robustness against moisture intrusion. Daimler began notifying dealers and owners in feb 2021. This preliminary evaluation is closed.The odi reports cited above can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under the following id numbers:11352380 11351299 11350521 11348969 11342776 11342464 11341988 11341151 11340388 11338230 11337921 11331832 11331829 11331476 11331427 11331066 11328671 11325768 11325693 11322814 11322346 11320295 11319376 11317336 11311647 11310621 11308318 11254223 11253828 11252220 11196530 11194330 11164250 11145019 11141273 11139000 11138785 11124129 11094122 11394837 11390889 11390039 11389262 11387883 11387713 11386418 11383887 11383866 11382947 11377384 11376615 11376973 11375781 11375403 11374997 11374151 11373892 11373111 11366293 11365920 11365594 11365355 11365194 11364253 11364346 11363990 11363787 11362948 11362944 11362556 11362276 11361679 11361275 11364340

I have had two failures of a rear speed sensor which have caused a loss of anti lock braking, traction control, and cruise control. The most recent failure on oct 14, 2020 also resulted in some erratic transmission shifting. All of these things impact the safety of the vehicle. In both failures the vehicle was traveling at highway speeds.

I have had to change the speed sensor on the right back wheels 3 times. This affects electrical stability control of vehicle and abs system. It is unusual and expensive to be doing this. Last time was april 2019. I have to take it in to the mercedes again to change it.

Wheel sensors failure causes loss of abs braking , cruise control and traction control. When this occurs causes the vehicle to go into limp mode and rapid reduction of speed. All of the above causes a hazardous situation on the freeway. We have had 2 fail and many of our friends have experienced cthe same.
