SERVICE: GROUP 00 OF SERVICE INFORMATION BINDER

Campaign No. 2010090002, September 2010
TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ CENTERS
SUBJECT:
Model 906, Model Years 2009 - 2010
Replace Oil Filler Neck
Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Sprinter vehicles, has determined that the spring plate, which is mounted at the oil filler neck and affixes it
to the cylinder head cover, may crack. Such a crack may result
in engine oil leaking into the engine compartment from the oil filler neck. In unfavorable circumstances, in addition to damage to the engine caused
by inadequate lubrication, the leakage of oil may also lead to
the accumulation of dirt in the engine compartment with subsequent soiling of the road surface which could lead to a vehicle crash.
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) therefore has initiated a recall of all potentially affected vehicles described above. The recall will be conducted
to replace the oil filler neck.
Attached is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
^ Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.
^ Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin and follow the repair procedure exactly as described.
Please note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
Approximately 2544 vehicles are affected.
