POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:INTERNAL:PARK PAWL

Issued by Daimler Vans USA, LLC · Reported Oct 21, 2022 · 124,305 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles equipped with a manual parking brake and 7-speed automatic transmission. The guide bushing on the parking pawl may fatigue, which can cause the parking pawl not to engage and result in vehicle rollaway.

Consequence

Vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will update the software of the electronic stability, transmission control, direct select module, and electronic ignition switch control units, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 10, 2023. Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267. DVUSA's numbers for this recall are 22V2790611, 22V2790612, and 22V2790613.
