2007 Dodge Sprinter recalls & complaints
Source: NHTSA, updated daily. Last checked 2026-10-18. Recalls apply to specific VINs — run your VIN to confirm.
5 safety recalls, most serious first
1. Airbags
What's wrong, in plain English: The airbag system — the part that is supposed to protect you in a crash. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE SIDE WINDOW AIR BAG MODULE DIFFUSER MATERIAL MAY CONTAIN HAIRLINE CRACKS.
What could happen: IN THE CASE OF A CRASH WITH A TRIGGER SIGNAL FOR THE WINDOW BAG MODULE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SUCH A DIFFUSER MAY CRACK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE AIR BAG ACTIVATION INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT.
The fix: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE RIGHT, LEFT, OR BOTH SIDE WINDOW AIR BAG MODULES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 16, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DCC AT 1-843-695-5041.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2007 SPRINTER.
- Book a repair at any authorized Dodge dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 07V246000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Manufacturer hotline: 1-843-695-5041.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.

The chrysler/dodge dealerships don't service sprinters, as they haven't bee…
