Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, Sprinter 3500: Airbag
Affects Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, Sprinter 3500 · 2010–2014 — about 13K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the front driver air bag module. Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2019454.
