- The wiring harness of the generator may have been erroneously swapped with the wiring harness of the electric steering during assembly. Consequently the steering wiring harness would be secured with the generator fuse (fused too high), and the generator wiring harness with the steering fuse (fused too low). In the event of an additional electrical fault (e.g. damage to the steering wiring harness) the mix-up of the two differently fused wiring harnesses could lead to the steering wiring harness becoming overloaded, increasing the risk of fire.

What is this? This is a notice about some Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. A mix-up in the wires for the generator and the electric steering may have happened when the vans were built.
What's happening? Because of this mix-up, the steering wires might get too much power. This could cause a fire if the wires get damaged.
Does this affect me? This affects Sprinter vans made in Germany. It may be in several countries in Europe.
What should I do? If you own or drive one of these vans, ask a mechanic or Mercedes-Benz for help right away. Do not wait.
