2025 Mercedes Sprinter 2500

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Sprinter 2500.

The 2025 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 presents a highly refined reliability profile with only two owner complaints and a single recall logged, the former of which centers primarily on the powertrain. Positioned within the model's broader 2007-2025 history—where complaints previously peaked at 38 in 2014 and bottomed out at just one in 2007—this current iteration sits near the absolute low end of the historical complaint spectrum. This placement signals a matured platform for researchers, meaning the 2025 model currently reflects one of the most stable and well-sorted chapters in the vehicle's lineage.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2025 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 dominate in one area — the power train, 1 of 2 reports (50%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 1 recall campaigns target the power train, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the power train pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
