Buying a used 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500? Check these 38 recalls first
Ten recalls, including three fire-risk items: an exhaust pipe leak, a turbocharger joint leak and loose fuel line clamps. Steering appears twice — shaft screws that can come loose and a missing steering column cover — alongside taillights that can dim or shut off, a hood that can fly open, airbags that may never have been switched on, wrong rear window glass and skipped final inspection. Eight unverified owner complaints to NHTSA name steering three times; one crash, no fires or injuries.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Confirm the exhaust, turbocharger and fuel line recalls are all closed by VIN.
- Have the steering shaft screws and column cover checked; note play or noise.
- Verify taillight operation and that the airbag activation recall was done.
- 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.
