MERCEDES BENZ announced a problem with the Sprinter affecting a total of 8,064 vehicles.
It has been identified that, the fleece filter insert of the engine oil separator may become obstructed with dirt particles. It is therefore possible, that an increase in pressure within the crankcase may occur with the result that oil could escape onto hot engine parts. Should this occur, a fire may ensue. Vehicles built from 1/1/2006 to 12/31/2008 are at risk.
Recalled vehicles will have the original oil filter replaced with one of a cyclone type.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest MERCEDES BENZ dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
