1 Rear Suspension Springs problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2014

We have had both rear leaf springs fail on this vehicle in last 2 months. The centering pin on leaf spring shears off and axle shifts back to wheel well. This causes vehicle to track at askew on road. I feel this presents a major safety issue at freeway speeds. We have had the leaf fail on 2 of our five Sprinters the other being a 2007 year. Other van has 120000 miles on it. We have never had this problem with other vans of different mfr.
