Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,300 model-year 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans manufactured between Feb. 28, 2014, and Jan. 22, 2015
The Problem: Oil may leak from around the chain tensioner gasket area and could drip onto a hot engine surface, increasing the risk of a fire. A leak could also create a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Mercedes-Benz began notifying owners May 18, and dealers will replace the chain tensioner gasket for free.
