Replace Drivers Seat Base Console

This Service Campaign has been initiated because Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles, has

determined that on certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles the sheet metal that retains the hand brake lever to the seat base console may not be welded to

specifications. As a result the hand brake lever may detach from the seat base console. In this condition it is not possible for the hand brake to release
