Known issues on the 2018 Sprinter 3500. Ten recalls cover the 2018 Sprinter 3500. The most basic: certain vans may have been delivered with their air bag systems never activated after production, and dealers checked and switched them on where needed. Certain vans were released from the reassembly plant before safety-critical parts and fasteners got their last inspection, and went back for one. Two recalls on certain vans dealt with the spare tire's speed label, either absent or showing only kilometers per hour. The 8 owner complaints are scattered, with service brakes at 2 and structure and exterior lighting at 1 each. Air bag diagnostics, torque values and wiring diagrams are included.
