What this recall means for you
Certain 2016 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans with reinforced front axles have a tire label on the B-pillar that lists a tire pressure that is too low. Following that label can leave the front tires underinflated.
Operating the vehicle with low front tire pressure may cause tire damage, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should not rely on the label on the B-pillar for the correct inflation pressure until it has been checked.
The remedy is free of charge. Freightliner Sprinter and Mercedes-Benz dealers will check and replace the tire label as necessary. Owners can contact DVUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
