Mercedes-Benz eSprinter rear axle drivetrain gearwheel weld seam may be weak

Country	New Zealand
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-03-20
Models affected	SPRINTER
Model year	2024
Defect	On certain eSprinter (907 platform) vehicles, the weld seam of a gearwheel inside the rear axle drivetrain might not meet strength requirements. In this case, the transmission load in the rear axle drive train might no longer be ensured. As a result, the vehicle might lose its propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the parking lock might not function as intended. Safe parking of the vehicle would still be ensured by the parking brake, but local legal requirements might not be met.
Remedy	Please visit the nearest authorised Mercedes- Benz dealership.
