MERCEDES BENZ SPRINTER ( 01/09/2006 – 31/07/2013) DEFECT: It has been established that on certain models of NCV3 (5-ton) vehicles fitted with air suspension from the VB AirSuspension company have a high risk of a fracturing of the weld seam on the rear axle spring saddle. In the unlikely event that this occurs then the rear axle can become loose and take on a self-steering behaviour which could affect vehicle control or stability.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to fit an additional spring saddle clamp to provide additional security.
