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.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 31 May and 6 July 2021.
