## What is wrong

Daimler Vans USA, LLC \(DVUSA\) is recalling certain 2015 Mercedes\-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vehicles.  These vehicles were  manufactured without a protective plate on the front of the gas tank and a foam ring at the filler neck.  As such, these vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."


## What can happen

Without the protective plate and the foam ring installed, impacts may damage the tank resulting in a fuel leak that can increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tank, free of charge.  The recall began on June 6, 2017.  Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1\-877\-762\-8267.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
