REAR BENCH SEAT MAY LIFT UP FROM THE REAR IN A COLLISION & ATTACHED SEAT BELTS MAY NOT BE ANCHORED CORRECTLY
On 'B' Class models fitted with 'Easy Vario' rear seat option a bolt securing the seat bench to the body may have been omitted during production. This may allow the seat bench to lift during a frontal collision. Seat belt effectiveness may also be compromised.
On affected vehicles check for presence and tightness of retaining screws. Fit new screws where necessary and tighten all screws to specification.
ELECTRICAL FAULT COULD ALLOW VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY WHEN LEFT PARKED
On certain vehicles fitted with 9 speed transmission the back up battery may not connect during main battery failure. This may prevent selection of Park on the transmission or operation of the electronic parking brake.
On affected vehicles adapt harness to manufacturer's specification and recode the system.
TYRES MAY FAIL DURING 'ROAD-RAILER' USE
On certain models with road-railer conversion it is possible that in combination with the tyres MITAS 275/90 R22.5 SRT preliminary damage to the tyres may occur due to intensive rail usage. As a result the road properties of the affected tyres may be restricted to the extent that a sudden loss of air or bursting due to heating up of the tyre during lengthy transport on the road and at high speeds cannot be ruled out. This would constitute or increase a risk of accident.
The recall has two elements: 1. the maximum speed of the vehicle will be temporarily restricted by means of a variable parameter to 65km/h and 2. the tyre inflation pressure adapted as per sheet inserted in the operator�s Manual for the vehicle as a remedial action.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE
The torque sensor of the electric power steering assistance may be damaged which can adversely affected the tightness of the housing and allow water ingress. The defect could lead to failure of the torque sensor and consequently shut off the steering power assistance and lead to an elevated risk of collision.
Recall the vehicle that is likely to be affected and replace the electric power steering.
RISK OF FIRE
The mounting nut for the battery ground line at the body may not have been tightened correctly. If the connection is loose there could be sparks and localised heating which increases the risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check and rework the threaded connection as necessary.
PASSENGER BENCH SEAT MAY FAIL
The bolt securing the passenger seat back rest may fracture. If this happens the back rest cushion may drop. In the event of a collision the seat belt may not fully restrain the passenger as intended.
On affected vehicles replace the mounting screws with additional sleeves.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
Three vehicles have been built with extended chassis/wheel base. The Yaw sensor has been displaced to a spot which does not correspond to the specific location and position. It cannot be ruled out that undefined or incorrect brake intervention may occur in the event of ESP intervention. Additionally the sensor may not recognise critical situations. The above can lead to an increased risk of collision/incident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the location of the Yaw sensor. Where necessary move the sensor to the prescribed position.
WINDOWS MAY DETACH
On vehicles with multi layered paint it is possible the layers may not have bonded as intended. This could allow the windscreen to detach in the event of excessive forces such as an accident. This may similarly affect bonded tie downs and/or super high roof.
Recall affected vehicles and check stability of the paint. Where necessary reapply paint to affected areas.
1. AIRBAGS MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY OR 2. AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY WITHOUT OBVIOUS CAUSE
Due to corrosion of internal components the SRS control unit may fail. This will deactivate SRS components such as airbags or in rare instances cause an SRS component to unintentionally deploy.
On affected vehicles replace the SRS control Unit.
RISK OF FIRE
The threaded connection of the battery ground may not be tightened correctly due to deviation in the tightening angle monitoring. In the event of a poor ground of the battery line a temporarily higher transition resistance could lead to the formation of sparks and local heating. This would increase the risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the ground connection of the battery line and if necessary replace the ground connection.
RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND/OR FIRE
On the affected vehicles the end pipe of the auxiliary air heater may not have been routed correctly due to a cut out in the vehicle floor that is possibly missing. Exhaust from the auxiliary air heater is possibly not correctly diverted under the vehicle floor and could to some extent enter the vehicle interior. There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and a risk of fire for the under floor panelling cannot be ruled out.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check for the presence of the cut out on the affected vehicles and drill this if necessary. Also the correct routing for the end pipe must be checked and where necessary corrected.

DOORS MAY DOUBLE-LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY
The double lock function for the door locks may operate even when the doors are unlocked. In this mode the interior door handles may be deactivated.
Recall affected vehicles and update software.
RISK OF FIRE
On vehicles fitted with the four cylinder (OM651) engine the high pressure fuel lines may not have been manufactured to specifications. These lines may crack and allow fuel to leak. If an ignition source is present there is a risk of fire.
On affected vehicles replace high pressure fuel lines.
RISK OF FIRE
The high pressure fuel lines have not been manufactured to the correct specification which over time can lead to crack formation and fuel leaking. Fuel escaping in the presence of an ignition source could lead to fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the high pressure fuel lines.

STOP START ENGINE MAY NOT RESTART
The excess length of the wiring harness to the engine control unit could result in a faulty camshaft signal. This faulty camshaft signal may lead to an unintentional cancellation of the automatic starting procedure after automatic engine stop of the automatic start/stop system. In the event of a faulty camshaft signal the engine would not restart as expected following the stop procedure but can be manually restarted immediately by engaging the transmission selector lever position �N� or �D� and by operating the ignition key or the start button (with keyless go). Depending on the traffic situation however an increased accident hazard could result.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and rework the wiring harness to the engine control unit on the affected vehicles as a precautionary measure.
AUTO STOP/START MAY SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING
Incorrect software may have been installed during manufacture. This may cause erratic idling when coming to a halt and the engine may shut down. Consequently the auto start/stop may not operate as intended.
On affected vehicles update the powertrain control software.
