NHTSA Service Bulletin 11028117: 2023-2025 Freightliner Sprinter 1500

Complaint Check engine warning light is active. The following fault codes may be present in the engine control unit: P3007F1 Leak detected in the intake air system or P3007F2 Mass air flow malfunction in the intake air system (cylinder bank 1) or P300CA8 Leak detected in the intake air system or P300CA9 Mass air flow malfunction in the intake air system (cylinder bank 1) or P300CA9 and P3007F1: Faults are present simultaneously in the quick test In addition, the customer may report: An air leak type noise from the engine compartment/intake air area, and/or A chugging noise, especially during acceleration or under load. These noise complaints can be present with or without the above fault codes. Cause Causes for FC P3007F1 or P300CA8: Faults are set if: If there is a leakage upstream of the exhaust gas turbocharger (see "Dichtring_Sealant.jpg"). If the housing intermediate flange at the high-pressure EGR valve (where the exhaust back pressure sensor connects) is carbonized or clogged, or if there is carbonization/incomplete sealing of the high-pressure or lowpressure EGR valves. (See Gehaeusezwischenflansch_intermediate_flange.jpg and verstopfter_Gehaeusezwischenflansch_clogged_Intermediate_Flange.jpg.) Note: Only relevant if the correction value in load range 1 is less than -8%. If the intake manifold (charge air distribution line) or charge air cooler is carbonized (see "Saugrohr_intake_manifold.jpg"). If engine timing is misadjusted. There is a defective hot film mass air flow sensor or a hot film mass air flow sensor that is affected by incorrect airflow (this can be due to a clogged or deformed air filter). Refer to the attached file "Luftfilter_air_filter." Cause of fault code combination P300CA9 AND P3007F1: Faults are set if: There is carbonization or incomplete closure of the high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation valve, especially in the housing intermediate flange at the EGR valve (linked to the exhaust back pressure sensor). Charleston Plant Identification VIN 11th Digit T: For vehicles produced at the Charleston Plant (identified by T in the 11th digit of the VIN) with a production date on or after 12/20/2023: If fault code P3007F1 or P300CA8 is set, an air leak is found, and the cause is identified as a loose or mis-installed Clean Air Line from the factory, open an Initial Field Quality (Info Only) case. Include the current Quick Test and photos showing the Clean Air Line issue. For all other vehicles, continue diagnosis as per the standard instructions.
