What’s wrong with it?
If the lashing rails disconnect, the cargo could become unsecured, increasing the risk of a crash.
Daimler Vans USA, LLC (DVUSA) is recalling certain 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles.
The lashing rails on the side walls may not have been properly installed, possibly resulting in the lashing rails detaching.
