Buying a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (VS30)? Check these 3 recalls first
A shorter list than the 2019 van. One critical recall covers fan wiring that poses a fire risk, with no stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Two high-severity recalls address swivel seat airbag wiring and front brake discs of the wrong specification. Four unverified owner complaints are on file with NHTSA — spread across structure, equipment, power train and vehicle speed control — with no crashes, fires or injuries reported, a light record for a commercial van.
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 fan wiring fire risk recall was completed
- Verify the correct front brake discs were installed under recall
- Ask whether swivel seats are fitted and the airbag wiring was checked
- 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.
