• Vehicle rolls away while in park investigation # PE21019

  The office of defects investigation (odi) of the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) opened this pe after receiving 11 vehicle owner questionnaires (voqs) alleging that model year (my) 2019 mercedes-benz (mb) sprinter vans, configured for use as amazon delivery vehicles or ambulances, roll away shortly after being shifted to park using the auto-p function. A rollaway vehicle with no operator behind the steering wheel could potentially strike pedestrians, moving or parked vehicles or buildings, resulting in injury, fatality and/or property damage. Analysis of data provided by mb in response to the odi information request (ir) letter showed a high failure rate. Following discussions with odi about the failures, mb decided to conduct a safety recall. On december 15, 2021, daimler vans usa, llc filed recall 21v-972 covering 48,400 model year (my) 2019-2020 mercedes-benz (mb) sprinter vans. With recall 21v-972, this investigation is closed.
