Known issues on the 2018 Sprinter 2500. Nine recalls are on the record for the 2018 Sprinter 2500, and a number trace back to assembly. Certain vans may have left production with their air bag systems never switched on. On certain others, a hood catch screw might not have been tightened properly, so wind and road forces could open the hood while driving. Certain vans left the reassembly plant without a final check of safety-relevant parts and bolted joints and were sent back there for inspection. Spare tire speed labels were missing or metric-only on certain vans. Speed control leads the 14 complaints with 4; power train and steering have 3 each. Air bag activation, hood latch hardware and the cruise and steering systems are backed by procedures, torque values and diagnostics in the manual.
