Mercedes Benz Sprinter Chassis Recall Advisory

I just received a notice from Thor regarding a recall on certain Mercedes Benz Sprinter Chassis(2015-2020). Certain Mercedes Benz Sprinter vehicles might have a power steering return line hose(s) detach and leak hydraulic fluid and cause loss of power steering assist.

Certain 2017-2020 Chateau, Citation, Four Winds, Gemini, Quantum, Siesta and Synergy, 2018-2019 Compass, 2018-2020 Freedom Elite, 2021 Sanctuary and Tranquility.

It is Mercedes Benz Safety Recall: 20V-663
Thor Motor Coach Safety Advisory: RC000210
Recall Campaign # 2020120007

In case you have one of those models, you can check with your local MB dealer for the inspection and repair.

Paul

I didn't get a letter; but I saw the notice in Tiffin's "Roughing It Smoothly" publication.
I'll call my dealership this week, and ask them to look into it.
Thanks for reporting it!

The lower power steering hose is installed not fully engaged with the tubing and may detach. Dealer will position hose and add another clamp. Hoses are located driver side mid-way up the edge of the radiator. Round object bottom left of photo is fuel filter cap

That looks like a pretty fix!
I'll bet that I could almost do it...

Time to call the Dealership.

I have an appointment for tomorrow at my local MB dealership. I was told it should be about an 1 1/2 hour job for them.
