What happened

Certain 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans manufactured between July 1, 2016 and September 30, 2016 are being recalled due to defective left side seat adjusters (model number 486077 manufactured by Atwood). These seat adjusters may allow the driver's seat to move during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant and violating federal safety standards for seat belt anchorages and seating systems.

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified of the recall, which began on December 22, 2016. Dealers will replace the left slide track free of charge. According to the recall record, affected consumers should contact Midwest customer service at 1-574-522-4878.
