Buying a used 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4500? Check these 38 recalls first

38 NHTSA recalls · 9 owner complaints on file

The same ten-recall picture as other 2019 Sprinters: three fire-risk items — exhaust pipe leak, turbocharger joint leak and loose fuel line clamps — plus loosening steering shaft screws, a missing steering column cover, dimming taillights, a hood that can fly open, airbags possibly never switched on, wrong rear window glass and skipped final inspection. Of nine unverified owner complaints, one reports a fire and one a crash; electrical system and forward collision avoidance lead.

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 the exhaust, turbocharger and fuel line recalls were closed by VIN.
3. Inspect the engine bay for scorching, leaks or past exhaust repairs.
4. Ask about warning lights, collision-warning faults and electrical issues.
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.
