Daimler Vans USA recalls Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinters

Daimler Vans USA (DVUSA) is recalling 9.094 model year 2019-2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinters and Freightliner Sprinters with electric parking brakes.

The rear brake calipers may leak brake fluid into the housing of the electric parking brake connected to the rear axle service brake system, allowing air to enter the hydraulic brake system.

Air in the brake system can result in extended brake pedal travel, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

DVUSA has not yet established a remedy.

The recall was expected to begin January 25, 2021.

Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at (877) 762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VS3BREPB.
