Mercedes-Benz service campaign 2026070002
Mercedes-Benz filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Jul 16, 2026, received Aug 3, 2026, about the power train. It names 2 model years (2024–2025). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationOn certain Mercedes-Benz eSprinter vehicles, the drivetrain control unit software may not correspond to the current series production configuration. Therefore, it is possible that the energy saving function may not work correctly. An authorized Mercedes-Benz eSprinter dealer will update the drivetrain control unit on the affected vehicles.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.
Model years it names

None of these model years has a page on this site (it covers EPA-certified cars, trucks and SUVs from 2016), so the bulletin is listed here on its own.
