SUSPENSION MAY FAIL
The bolts connecting the suspension strut lower mounting to the steering knuckle may shear. Should this occur the stability of the vehicle could be affected.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the bolts and nuts that connect the suspension strut lower mounting to the steering knuckle.
FUEL MAY LEAK
A fuel leak may occur from the area of the fuel drain opening in the fuel filters which leaks onto the road.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the fuel filter and replace where necessary.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the fuel filter and replace where necessary.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Fuel leaks in the plug area of the drain opening may occur at the fuel filter with integrated fuel heaters. Fuel can escape and is noticeable to the customer due to a corresponding diesel odour. The diesel can reach the road and as a result friction between the tyres and road surface may be decreased.
Check filter and replace as necessary.

FUEL MAY LEAK
It is possible that the fuel filter could suffer a leak in the plug area of the drain opening. This leakage should be identified to the driver by the smell of the diesel however if action is not taken to address the issue the issue could result in fuel escaping onto the road surface.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the fuel filter.
FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTERS MAY FAIL
The treaded connection of the front belt height adjuster may not correspond to the high quality required of Mercedes Benz under heavy loads.
Replace the front height adjusters including the threaded connection.
CONTROL MAY BE LOST
Rear suspension springs may not be to specification and could fail at the spring eye. If such a failure occurs vehicle control could be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary replace the suspension springs.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The electric heater of the charge air preheating system can overheat and a vehicle fire may occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to carry out modifications to the electrical actuation system of this heater.
CRUISE CONTROL MAY FAIL TO DEACTIVATE
It has been identified that a fault in the brake light switch may in very rare cases cause the cruise control to not deactivate when the brake is applied.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the brake switch.
STEERING MAY BECOME HEAVY
Power steering assistance may be lost due to an implausible signal occurring in the control unit. The mechanical steering of the vehicle is maintained but greater input from the driver will be required. When the fault occurs warning will be delivered both visually on the vehicle display and audibly via a signal tone.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the electric power steering units.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the electric power steering units.
PASSENGER AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY
It is possible that due to a faulty electrical connection and high air temperature only the first stage of the air-bag will only ignite and the second stage will not. This could result in the non-deployment or full deployment of the passenger air-bag. If the vehicle is involved in a serious collision it is possible that the passenger may receive increased head injuries.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the passenger air-bag.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
In certain arduous operating conditions it is possible that the air conditioning fan relay could overload and in the worst case could catch fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the air conditioning fan relay with a modified component.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the air conditioning fan relay with a modified component.
MISLEADING INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INFORMATION AND ESP FUNCTIONS
A program error may result in misleading instrument cluster information and ESP functions
Re-Program the control unit and conduct SCN coding of the SRS control unit.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The electric heater of the charge air preheating system can overheat and a vehicle fire may occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to carry out modifications to the electrical actuation system of this heater.
PASSENGER SEAT MAY DETACH
Rivets retaining the seat cushion of the front passenger seat may be too small and in an accident may not retain the cushion. This could lead to an increased risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the double front passenger bench seat.
RISK OF FIRE
On vehicles fitted with the OM646 engine it is possible that an Air Conditioning (AC) hose bracket could chaff the wiring harness for the three phase alternator. If this is not rectified there is a possible risk of a short circuit which may result in a fire.
Recall all affected vehicles to check for damage to the wiring and replacement if found damaged plus the installation of an additional spacer clamp.
