Mercedes recalls 315,000 Sprinters for brake lights

315,575 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans will have to be serviced by an authorised workshop because the brake lights can illuminate even when the brake pedal is not depressed.

The cause is an incorrect manufacturing tolerance. As a remedial measure, an additional circlip is fitted to the bearing block of the brake pedal in the workshop. The affected vans were manufactured between 2017 and 2020.
