Shanghai. February 29 (Gasgoo.com) - Germany automaker Daimler-Benz AG announced yesterday to recall 222 imported Sprinter vehicles to fix an interior bulb that could lead to fire. The recall will be effective starting March 3.

In a filing to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the automaker said the interior bulb of the affected vehicles may cause distortion of the lampshade or even catch fire in a high-temperature environment.

The recall covers Benz Sprinter 313CDI, 316CDI, 416CDI and 314, manufactured between January 30, 2001 and October 7, 2006.
