Buying a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500? Check these 2 recalls first
A short record for a recent van: two recalls, both rated high — rear axle bolts that can weaken and shift, and a parking brake that may release, letting the van roll away. No fire or airbag campaigns appear for this year. One owner complaint has been filed with NHTSA, logged only as unknown or other and reported as involving a crash; complaints are unverified reports, and a single entry says little about the model year overall.
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 both recalls — rear axle bolts and parking brake — are closed by VIN.
- Test that the parking brake and Park hold the van on a slope.
- Ask about collision history and any prior rear axle work.
- 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.
