POTENTIAL FAILURE OF REAR AXLE
It has been identified that the rear axle left hand side half shaft may develop cracks. Should this occur breakage of the rear axle might ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the rear axle inspected and replaced if necessary.
FULL FUNCTIONALITY OF THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONICS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED
It has been identified that due to incorrect software transmission the full functionality of the vehicle's electronics cannot be guaranteed.
Recalled vehicles will have the SCN coding rewritten.
INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
It has been identified that subject vehicles have been fitted with an incorrect brake master cylinder. This has the effect of the brake pedal having to travel further before the brakes take effect.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake master cylinder replaced.

Recalled vehicles will have the SCN coding rewritten.
SEAT BELT BUCKLE COULD DETACH.
Seat belt locking pawls may break in the event of an accident which in the most unfavourable circumstances may lead to the seat belt buckle detaching
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the seat belt batch number and replace the seat belt where necessary.

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the seat belt batch number and replace the seat belt where necessary.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that a fuel leak may occur due to the possible detachment of the fuel line from the fuel tank to the engine.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel line replaced.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that a fuel leak may occur due to the possible detachment of the fuel line from the fuel tank to the engine.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel line replaced.
STEERING CONTROL MAY BE AFFECTED
Steering control could be lost as the idler arm bearing journals could fail as a result of the material used to make the not being to specification.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace both steering relay levers
ELECTRONICS MAY NOT BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL
The full functionality of the vehicles electronics which includes the safety systems cannot be guaranteed. This is a result of incorrect software being transmitted to a number of vehicles.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to re-perform the software (SCN) coding to the control unit.
INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
It has been identified that an incorrect brake master cylinder and or brake fluid reservoir has been installed. In instances of the installation of an incorrect brake master cylinder the brake pedal will travel further before the brakes become effective. On vehicles fitted with an incorrect brake fluid reservoir the brake wear limit light will illuminate prematurely.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake master cylinder and or the brake fluid reservoir replaced.
INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL
It has been identified that subject vehicles have been fitted with an incorrect brake master cylinder. This has the effect of the brake pedal having to travel further before the brakes take effect.
Recalled vehicles will have the brake master cylinder replaced.
ECU MAXIMUM ROAD SPEED LIMIT NOT SET
The maximum road speed limit was not set in the engine control unit during production.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to set the maximum road speed of the vehicle.
RISK OF FIRE
It has been identified that the lens of the interior lamps located in the air ducts may not conform to specification under conditions of continuous operation. This may result in an electrical short circuit and an isolated cable fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject lamps replaced.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
It has been identified that the ball joint of the front axle upper transverse link may wear out. As the wear worsens the link pin may become detached from the joint housing. If the link pin were to become detached this would result in a safety critical condition as reliable control of the affected front wheel could no longer be guaranteed.
Recalled vehicles will have the top transverse control arms replaced.
WINDSHIELD MAY DETACH
It has been identified that on subject vehicles the windscreen may not have been installed to Daimler AG's strict production specifications. With the result that the windscreen may become detached.
Recalled vehicles will have the windscreen removed cleaned and bonded in accordance with the specification.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
Fire may occur in vehicles fitted with rear air conditioning as a result of the rear interior lamp deforming because of its position in continuous heat.The deformation in combination with moisture may trigger a short circuit of the connecting contacts and thereby cause an isolated cable fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the interior lamps in the rear passenger compartment.
WHEEL HUB MAY BECOME INSECURE
The incorrect specification bolts were supplied in a previous recall. The bolts supplied were too long which can affect the security of the hub.
Recall all affected vehicles to check bolts and if necessary replace the bolts.
