Campaign No. 2020070011, August 2020

TO:

ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS

SUBJECT:

Model 907 (Sprinter), Model Year 2019 - 2020
Front Swivel Seat Wiring

Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner vans,
has determined that on certain Sprinter vehicles from platform 907 (VS30) that are
equipped with front swivel-seats, the electric cables in the seat wiring harness could
become jammed and damaged in the swivel-seat frame. If electric cables in the wiring
harness could become jammed and damaged in the swivel-seat frame. In that case, the
operation of the side airbag within the driver and/or front passenger seats could be
adversely affected which could cause the side airbag to deploy inadvertently or not
deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle
occupants. An authorized Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner Sprinter dealer will inspect the
installation of the seat wiring harness (left/right) of the front seats and will repair as
necessary.
