Mercedes Benz Sprinter: Window Adhesion May Not Be Sufficiently Bonded
Recall Summary Mercedes-Benz is recalling 61 Sprinter vans because the windows, tie-down rails, and super high roofs (where installed) may not be properly bonded to the vehicle due to insufficient paint adhesion. In an accident, these components could detach and potentially cause injury. The fix involves removing and reinstalling the affected windows and roof components, along with repainting the bonding surfaces.
