The Mercedes Sprinter lower power steering hose is susceptible to damage and/or failure due to its short length and the pressure applied by motor vibration and movement while driving. This power steering hose failure is most common in 2019 and older Sprinter vans but has been known to happen on newer models as well. Mercedes has recognized this issue with a recall but only calls for inspection or installation of a clamp(See recall info below). The AO Sprinter Power Steering Repair Hose Fix Kit provides added hose length to alleviate stress and limit the possibility of failure. This is a must-have item to keep with you in your tool bag.
Note: Power steering fluid will be required for installation of this part. Use Mercedes-Benz recommended power steering fluid (Not included or offered by AO).
