Freightliner connecting screws on the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pipe may not have been correctly tightened.
The short version
Daimler Vans USA, LLC reported a problem with the emission control gas recirculation valve (egr valve). Here is what owners need to know.
The connecting screws on the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pipe may not have been correctly tightened.
If the connecting screws are not properly tightened, hot exhaust gases may leak from the EGR pipe, increasing the risk of a fire.
DVUSA will notify owners, and Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner Sprinter dealers will renew the screw connection and the flange seals on the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, free of charge.
