    Mechanical 2005 Sprinter Recall

    Today I received a recall on my Sprinter. Seems that a reprogramming of the engine control unit is in need of updating. The MAF if fails, the check engine light will not illuminate or store error codes in the ECU. Anyone else? Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums
