ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
A display that is too bright can make it difficult for the driver to see critical safety information, increasing the risk of a crash.
38 safety recall campaigns, 17 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A display that is too bright can make it difficult for the driver to see critical safety information, increasing the risk of a crash.
A detached partition wall can increase the risk of injury.
Reduced stability increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, the third-row seat mountings can fail, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
A blank instrument panel will not show critical information, such as vehicle speed, fuel gauge, warning messages, and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.
Vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash.
A disabled eCall system would prevent a vehicle occupant from contacting the emergency services call center in an emergency, potentially delaying emergency responders and increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2019 MERCEDES BENZ SPRINTER 4500s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
