What happened

Daimler Vans USA is recalling certain 2019 Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles with diesel fuel systems. The bayonet lock connecting the fuel pump to the fuel tank may not have been properly closed and locked during manufacturing, which could allow diesel fuel to leak. Additionally, gas station fuel pumps may not automatically stop when the tank reaches its fill level, potentially causing fuel to overflow. A diesel fuel leak can create slippery road conditions and increase the risk of a crash.

DVUSA will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and lock the bayonet lock free of charge. The recall began January 3, 2020. If you own an affected vehicle, you should contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267 and reference recall number VS3KRAFMOD to arrange an inspection and repair.
