The defect

Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles. The lashing rails on the side walls may not have been properly installed, possibly resulting in the lashing rails detaching.

The risk

If the lashing rails disconnect, the cargo could become unsecured, increasing the risk of a crash.
