Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Sprinter 3500.
The 2022 Sprinter 3500, a full-size van in Mercedes-Benz’s commercial lineup, recorded 8 owner complaints and 6 recalls, with the top complaint area listed as “Unknown Or Other.” Within the model’s complaint history spanning 2007 to 2022, the 2022 year sits well below the peak of 61 complaints in 2016, though it is not the lowest (2008 had just 1). This relatively low complaint count, paired with a moderate recall volume, positions the 2022 model as a generally stable entry in the Sprinter’s reliability timeline, though the unspecified nature of the most common issue leaves some ambiguity for researchers.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 lead in one area — the unknown or other, 2 of 8 reports (25%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 6 recall campaigns target the unknown or other, 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 unknown or other 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.
