The defect
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner vehicles. A seam on the height adjuster for the front seats may have been insufficiently welded.
The risk
In the event of a crash, the weld seam may break and cause the seat cushion to shift forward, increasing the risk of injury.
