“During inspection, both rear main leaf springs were found cracked symmetrically due to fatigue failure. Similar rear leaf spring defect was previously recalled on adjacent VIN ranges. Failure affects rear ride height and vehicle stability. No signs of overload or impact damage observed.”

I have received a letter from the FCA US LLC regarding recalls for both airbags. I have called 3-4 times requesting this service. Because the van is technically a dodge (although made by mercedes, back in 2007) there is no Dodge dealerships that will agree to service the vehicle. The chrysler/dodge dealerships don't service sprinters, as they haven't been rebranded by dodge since 2007, and the mercedes dealerships either don't have access to the Dodge recall system, or are unwilling to assist, as they are not affiliated with the recall. I called 1800- 992-1997, to speak with chrysler, (Case # [XXX]) and spent another 42 minutes on the phone yesterday, still unable to find a solution. They called another handful of dealerships, seemingly not believing that Dodge dealerships would be unwilling to service a dodge sprinter. They stated that I could probably bring it to mercedes sprinter and have the work done, and then apply for reimbursement, although they would not guarantee me in

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DODGE RECALL PEOPLE FOR THE LAST YEAR AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY ACTION ON THEIR PART. THEY HAVE PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH ALL THE DODGE DEALERS IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND NONE OF THEM WILL WORK ON MY SPRINTER. PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS AN RV BUILT ONTO THE DODGE SPRINTER AND ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT IN 2007 DODGE WAS OWNED BY MERCEDES BENS AND DODGE DOES NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR MERCEDES PRODUCTS.
