2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris recalls
Emergency call system may fail to connect in crash
Certain 2019 Freightliner Sprinter, Mercedes-Benz Metris, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles have a software error in the communication module's SIM card.
Fuel Hose May Leak, Creating a Fire Risk
Some Mercedes-Benz Metris vans from model years 2017 through 2022 may have fuel hoses at the engine that are not fully secure.
Brake Fluid Reservoir May Detach, Causing Leaks
The brake fluid reservoir on certain vehicles may be incorrectly mounted, which can allow it to detach from the vehicle.
Emergency Call System May Send Crash Help to Wrong Location
The software in the communication module of certain Mercedes-Benz Metris and Sprinter vans may fail to send the correct vehicle location through the automatic emergency call system (eCall) after a crash.
Brake Fluid Leak Could Reduce Braking Performance
Certain 2019-2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris right-hand drive vans may have screwed fittings near the front and rear axles that were not installed correctly.
Driveshaft May Loosen, Risking Loss of Drive or Airbag Deployment
A driveshaft on certain vans may not be attached correctly to the intermediate bearing.
Exposed Battery Can Cause Electrical Short and Fire Risk
The backup battery compartment under the front passenger seat may lack its own cover.
Vans May Have Loose Safety Parts, Raising Crash Risk
Certain 2018-2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Metris vans left the reassembly plant without a final quality inspection of safety-related parts and bolt connections.
Front Head Restraints May Detach in a Crash
Some front seat head restraints may have been built without a spring pin, or with one that was improperly mounted.
Wrong Owner's Manual Could Raise Crash Risk
Certain vehicles were delivered with a printed operator's manual that does not match the vehicle's features and operating instructions.
Steering assist may cut out, raising crash risk
A sensor inside the electric power steering unit may have been improperly manufactured.
Loose Parts May Go Undetected, Raising Crash Risk

What owners report
My 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris, with approximately 78,000 miles, developed a check-engine light and diagnostic code P052E/P052E71 for a failure involving the positive crankcase ventilation/crankcase ventilation regulator system. I was advised that the repair will cost approximately $3,000 because the failed ventilation component is part of a larger assembly. I am concerned because Mercedes-Benz has acknowledged this same P052E71 crankcase ventilation failure on other Mercedes-Benz models equipped with the M274 engine and has provided extended warranty coverage on certain vehicles. My Metris also uses the M274 engine, but Mercedes-Benz has excluded the Metris from that extended coverage. I h
A check engine light on a Mercedes-Benz Metris, accompanied by a P052E code, often indicates a problem with the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system, specifically the PCV regulator valve or its associated components. This code signals that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected an issue with the crankcase pressure, suggesting a malfunction in the PCV system's ability to regulate pressure.
The pressure relief valve part on our Mercedes van is causing a check engine light to go off with code P052E. It's a known issue on several MB models (GLB, C300, etc.) that this original part wears out and can potentially cause an under-hood fire if oil gets clogged up in the components. To my knowledge there is no routine maintenance that we missed that would be causing this issue. MB has since released a new style of PCV part with insulation wrapped around the hose to prevent condensation build up. It's not possible to get the original stye of that part that is installed on our van anymore because Mercedes knows the part is poorly constructed and will fail. It's a costly and laborious repa
The contact owns a 2019 Mercedes Benz Metris equipped with Hankook Tires, Tire Line: Ventus S1 Noble, Tire Size: 225/55/R17, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the rear driver's side tire experienced a blowout. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the tire. The contact stated that all the original tires on the vehicle were replaced due to premature treadwear. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.
There is an active recall that Mercedez is ignoring.
