Replace Emergency Exit Window

Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles, has determined that on certain vehicles equipped with

an emergency exit window the adhesive bond between the glass and the hinge on the top of the window may loosen. As a result the emergency exit

window may separate from the body. Dealers will check a production date on the window and replace the emergency exit window if necessary.

Included is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.

Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:

^ Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.

^ Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin.

Approximately 276 vehicles are involved.

Replace Oil Filler Neck

Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Sprinter vehicles, has determined that the spring plate, which is mounted at the oil filler neck and affixes it

to the cylinder head cover, may crack. Such a crack may result

in engine oil leaking into the engine compartment from the oil filler neck. In unfavorable circumstances, in addition to damage to the engine caused

by inadequate lubrication, the leakage of oil may also lead to

the accumulation of dirt in the engine compartment with subsequent soiling of the road surface which could lead to a vehicle crash.

Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) therefore has initiated a recall of all potentially affected vehicles described above. The recall will be conducted

to replace the oil filler neck.

Attached is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.

Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:

^ Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.

^ Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin and follow the repair procedure exactly as described.

Please note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.

Approximately 2544 vehicles are affected.
