Environmental note
We supply reconditioned assemblies and
parts which are of the same quality as new
parts. The same New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty applies as for new parts.
We test genuine Sprinter parts, as well as
conversion parts and accessories that have
been specifically approved for the type of
vehicle, for:

Despite ongoing market research, we are
unable to assess other parts. If individual or
official approval is given, we assume no
responsibility for use in Sprinter vehicles.
In some countries, certain parts are only offi-

if they comply with legal requirements. All
genuine Sprinter parts satisfy these require-

for your vehicle. All authorized Sprinter Dealers maintain a
supply of genuine Sprinter parts for required
service and repair work. Also, the strategi-
cally distributed parts delivery centers pro-
