Buying a used 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 2 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Sprinter 1500 has 7 recalls involving rear side-window glass, inactive airbags, a skipped final inspection, leaking power steering hoses, hood retention, and spare-tire speed labels. Airbag function, steering leaks, and hood attachment are the mechanical or restraint concerns; the spare-tire campaigns address labeling.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify airbag, rear-window glass, and final-inspection recall completion.
3. Inspect power-steering hoses and confirm hood-retention repairs.
4. Check spare-tire labels and request engine fault and repair history.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Mercedes-Benz dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
