Mercedes-Benz Vans Sprinter 907 and Sprinter 910 recalled over a safety defect

Vehicle defect

On affected vehicles the weld points of a reinforcement in the right B-pillar may not correspond to the specifications. In this case the reinforcement in the B-pillar may work loose over time and fail to transmit the belt forces to the B-pillar as intended. This would increase the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
