## What is wrong

Daimler Vans USA, LLC \(DVUSA\) is recalling certain 2017 Mercedes\-Benz Sprinter 3500 and Freightliner Sprinter 3500 vehicles equipped with the Crosswind Assist function.  In the event of strong crosswind, automatic brake interventions by the vehicle dynamics control system \(ADAPTIVE ESP\) might not be activated.


## What can happen

If Crosswind Assist system does not activate the automatic braking system as expected in the event of a strong crosswind, there would be an increased risk of a crash.


## The remedy

DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will update the ESP control unit with corrected software, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin in January 2018.  Owners may contact DVUSA customer service at 1\-854\-888\-3214.
