Owners of recalled Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans are being advised to only operate the HVAC front blower in manual mode and to avoide the maximum blower or lowest/highest temperature settings.

,"the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning blower motor circuit may be inadequate, which can allow the wiring harness to overheat." Mercedes-Benz's recall acknowledgement adds that"a wiring harness that overheats increases the risk of a fire." A change in the fuse layout that went into production in February 2020 resolved the issue.

Due to the possibility of a fire in affected vehicles, Mercedes-Benz is advising owners"to only operate the HVAC front blower in manual mode whenever the engine is on." Used in manual mode, owners are further instructed not to"use the maximum blower or lowest/highest temperature settings until the remedy is performed.

Mercedes-Benz says it is currently aware of 11 reports of overheating events involving Sprinter vans in the United States. Dealers will relocate and replace the fuse and wiring harness in affected vehicles at no charge.
