Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2008-2011 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles that have an optional three-seat bench in the passenger compartment. The safety belts on these second-row bench seats may not meet federal safety requirements because they may fail to lock properly or may not withstand required force levels. In a crash, these defective seat belts may not properly restrain occupants, increasing the risk of injury or death.
To address this issue, Mercedes-Benz will inspect and replace any non-compliant seat belt assemblies at no cost. Owners should contact Mercedes-Benz at 843-695-5000 to arrange service for their vehicle.
