Summary
Sprinter is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 vehicles manufactured from November 2009 through March 2010 and sold under the mercedes-benz, freightliner, and Dodge brand name. The spring plate which attaches the oil filler neck to the cylinder-head cover may crack.
Consequence
A crack in the spring plate may result in engine oil leaking into the engine compartment from the oil filler neck, possibly leading to the accumulation of dirt in the engine compartment with subsequent soiling of the road surface which could lead to a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the oil filler neck free of charge. Mercedes-benz USA is handling the mercedes-benz and freightliner sprinter owner notification and remedy for this campaign, and Chrysler is handling the Dodge sprinter owner notification and remedy for this campaign. The safety recall began on October 4, 2010. Mercedes-benz and freightliner sprinter owners may contact mbusa, LLC at 1-877-762-8276, and Dodge sprinter owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-992-1997.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Dodge been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
