Known issues on the 2011 Sprinter 2500. Of the four recalls on record for this model year, the emergency exit window stands apart: on certain vans equipped with one, the adhesive joining the glass to its top hinge could weaken and let the window come away from the body. Another concerned the passenger frontal air bag inflator on certain vans, whose propellant could degrade so that it could rupture when the bag deployed in a crash, and a third involved second-row belts on certain vans with the optional three-seat bench that might not lock or meet strength requirements. Air bags account for 4 of the 12 complaints. Separately, two complaints filed against the 2011 Sprinter line mention the engine, stability control and service brakes. The manual pairs procedures and wiring diagrams with diagnostics for these systems.
