On certain motorhomes built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, the tire pressure label located on the B-pillar may not contain the correct front axle tire pressure information. Incorrect tire pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Mercedes-Benz dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the tire pressure label.
Certain motorhomes may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The module that controls the vehicle's tail lights, stop lights, signal lights, clearance lights and marker lights could potentially fail due to moisture intrusion into the housing of the module. This condition could affect the rear brake lights on the vehicle or on a towed object that is connected to the vehicle. Failure of brake lights to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will relocate the module to a water resistant location.
