Buying a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500? Check these 22 recalls first

22 NHTSA recalls · 13 owner complaints on file

Ten recalls weighted toward leaks and rollaway: loose fuel line clamps, leaking brake hoses and rear calipers, two separate power steering loss campaigns, and two entries for vans that can roll away after shifting into Park. Also listed are swivel seat wiring that can disable a side airbag, missing frame reinforcement fasteners and a driveshaft mount that can loosen. Thirteen unverified owner complaints skew electrical, with brakes and airbags next; one crash reported.

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. Confirm both rollaway recalls and test that Park holds on an incline.
3. Inspect hoses, rear calipers and steering lines for brake or fluid leaks.
4. If it has swivel seats, verify the side airbag wiring recall was completed.
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.
