Recall 07V-594: 2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500, 2007 Dodge Sprinter 3500 and 4 more
SPRINTER ENGINEERING & COMPLIANCE SUPPOR recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Dec 21, 2007, covering about 6,101 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The 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.
The fix
Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensors. The recall began on march 3, 2008. Owners may contact sprinter at 1-800-992-1997.
