Daimler Vans USA (DVUSA) is recalling 19 model year 2018-2019 Sprinter and Metris vehicles.

The vehicles left the reassembly plant without the final quality inspection of safety-relevant parts or bolt connections, resulting in possible unknown safety risks.

Failure to identify loose safety related parts can increase the risk of crash and injury.

What to do

DVUSA will notify owners, and vehicles will be returned to the reassembly plant for comprehensive inspection and, if necessary, corrective action, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin November 18, 2019.

Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at (877) 762-8267. DVUSA's number for this recall is VSX566ZP25.
