STEERING COULD BE IMPAIRED
It has been established that the service life of the ABC (Active Body Control) suspension lower ball joint on the front suspension struts does not meet Mercedes-Benz strict quality requirements. In cases of extreme loads the joint could fail which could possibly result in the vehicle losing directional control. Reports of this issue have only occur on very high mileages vehicle which have had been subject to use in rough conditions.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the ball joint on the front suspension struts and replace the ball joints where necessary.
AIRBAG MAY NOT FULLY INFLATE
It has been identified that due to a faulty aluminium housing the front passenger airbags may not deploy when required. On deployment the inner wall of the container may break resulting in the airbag failing to fully inflate and parts possibly dispersing into the vehicle.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject airbags replaced.
PARKING BRAKE MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the potential exists for a material defect to be present in the retaining clip for the outer cable of the left hand rear parking brake. Should the retaining clip fail the outer cable would become detached resulting in holding effect of the parking brake being lost.
Recalled vehicles will have the left hand rear parking brake cable including the clips replaced.

AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The window air bags may not fully deploy.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the window air bags.

WINDSHIELD MAY BECOME LOOSE
Adhesion faults may occur between the individual paint coatings at the bonding surface of the roof and the windshield. Under extreme conditions this could lead to peeling of the roof or the windshield which may lead to the windshield/roof becoming loose.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to renew the paint work bonding of the roof and windshield.
DRIVING STABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED
It has been identified that during production or a repair faulty Active Body Control (ABC) acceleration sensors may have been fitted. This has the potential to cause vibrations at the front axle thus influencing the driving stability and operational safety.
Recalled vehicles will have the ABC acceleration sensor checked and replaced as necessary.
ENGINE COULD LOSE POWER.
The electrical connection in the interior of the crankshaft sensor's chip housing may be interrupted which may result in loss of power and the inability to restart engine

SIDE MOUNTS OF THE ROOF BED LADDER MAY FAIL
It has been established that the side mountings for the roof bed ladder are insufficient to hold it in place. As a result the ladder could slip sideways.
Recalled vehicles will have the roof bed ladder replaced.

FUEL MAY LEAK
On a limited number of vehicles the fuel tank may not be meeting the required manufacturing safety standards and in the event of an accident could result in a fuel leak.
The recalled vehicles will have the fuel tank replaced with a quality assured unit.
ENGINE EMERGENCY SHUT OFF ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS OR TANK/SPEEDO SIGNAL MAY BE AFFECTED
Possibility of transfer of incorrect control unit software which could affect engine shut off control in an emergency situation or the on board diagnosis system or tank/speedometer signal
Recall affected vehicles and replace SAM control unit

SERVICE BRAKE MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
It has been identified that malfunctions may occur within the clutch control. As a resultwhen a vehicle is in a low gear and the working speed control is active the vehicle cannot be stopped by application of the service brake. In these circumstances the vehicle can only be stopped by switching off the working speed control switching off the engine or by engaging neutral.
It is therefore necessary to replace the gear control unit or change the settings.
FRONT LIGHTS / INDICATORS AND CONSOLE LIGHTS MAY FAIL.
The SAM unit may become unreliable due to moisture in a transistor due to incorrect storage. In extreme cases various electrical functions may be affected such as front lights indicators wipers steering column adjustment and centre console lights
