Dodge Sprinter 2500 recalls

  • Recall 17V478000Jul 28, 201743,689 vehiclesModel years 2007–2009

    Risk: An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

  • Recall 16V833000Nov 17, 201617,501 vehiclesModel years 2005–2006

    Risk: Without the BRAKE lamp illuminating during the vehicle start up bulb-function check, the driver has no confirmation that the lamp is working and therefore may not know whether or not the lamp will illuminate if the brake fluid level is low. If the operator is unaware that the vehicle has low brake fluid, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

  • Recall 16V077000Feb 10, 2016136,361 vehiclesModel years 2007–2009

    Risk: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

  • Recall 11V210000Mar 30, 20113,437 vehiclesModel years 2008–2009

    Risk: In the event of a crash, the safety belts in these vehicles may not perform as required such that a seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury or death in the event of a crash.

  • Recall 10V294000Jun 29, 20102,589 vehiclesModel years 2009

    Risk: A crack in the spring plate may result in engine oil leaking into the engine compartment from the oil filler neck, possibly leading to the accumulation of dirt in the engine compartment with subsequent soiling of the road surface which could lead to a vehicle crash.
