What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2010 Freightliner Sprinter 2500, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
OUR FREIGHTLINER SPRINTER 2500 2010 WITH LESS THAN 31K MILES HAS EXPERIENCED A CONDITION THAT HAS CAUSED THE MIL TO ILLUMINATE. THE ISSUE FROM THE DEALER IS THAT BOTH OF THE NOX SENSORS APPEAR TO HAVE FAILED. FROM ON LINE THREADS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE IT SEEMS THAT MB IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE CIRCUITS WITHIN THE NOX MODULE. MB MADE A CHANGE TO THE NOX UNITS AND MODULES TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE, YET THERE APPEARS TO BE NO TSB OR RECALL IN PLACE. THIS REPAIR COSTS APPROXIMATELY $1700.00 FOR BOTH NOX SENSORS/MODULES.
