If you own a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter from the 2019 and 2020 model years, you might want to check with the automaker if your van needs to be recalled. The Stuttgart-headquartered company has just announced a recall for almost 53,000 Sprinters and Freightliner Sprinter VS30s over a potential fire risk.
The issue isn’t directly related to the engine of the car. However, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system’s blower motor could have an inadequate circuit, which may cause the wiring harness to overheat and potentially start a fire. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration doesn’t report actual cases of vehicles catching fire so far.
