ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500?
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has not been rated in any NHTSA crash-test category. Its Moderate burden band designation reflects seven recalls and 37 owner complaints. Dual recalls for the instrument cluster point to a persistent illumination issue. A separate recall for critical structural fasteners directly implicates occupant protection. The fuel pump recall addresses a third safety-relevant system. Owner complaints cluster around Forward Collision Avoidance and Vehicle Speed Control, suggesting potential issues with active-safety electronics. Other complaints cite general electrical and engine problems. The 2025 Sprinter holds a Safety Index of 42, but this score applies only to that model year.
