| Owner notification | March 3, 2008 |
| Initiated by | Manufacturer |
Defect
On certain utility vans, the crankshaft sensor in certain diesel engines could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor. This results in an interruption in the electrical connection in the chip housing of the sensor.
Safety risk
When this happens, the vehicles may lose power rather than enter a limp-home mode. In addition, the vehicle cannot be restarted after failure of the electrical connection in the sensor, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensors. The recall began on march 3, 2008. Owners may contact sprinter at 1-800-992-1997.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
