BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
A connector on the brake servo pipe may fail and cause a loss of vacuum assistance necessitating the driver to include additional effort when braking.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new brake servo pipe.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
A connector on the brake servo pipe may fail and cause a loss of vacuum assistance necessitating the driver to include additional effort when braking.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new brake servo pipe.
LOSS OF DRIVE
The mounting clamps at the oil lines from the Duonic transmission have been found to be attached incorrectly on certain vehicles. Therefore it is possible an oil line could detach during vehicle operation due to the faulty assembly of the clamps. If the vehicle is used regularly under these circumstances the detachment of the oil hose from the tube may result in automatic transmission fluid escaping. This makes further gear shifting impossible and will make it impossible to drive further.
Replace the mounting clamps at the oil line.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
A connector on the brake servo pipe may fail and cause a loss of vacuum assistance necessitating the driver to include additional effort when braking.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new brake servo pipe.
DRIVE MAY FAIL
The power steering pump drive belt tensioner pulley securing bolt may fail which will lead to the loss of power steering assistance and the necessity for the driver to supply additional input to steering the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the steering pump drive belt tensioner pulley securing bolt with a more robust version.
DRIVE MAY FAIL
The power steering pump drive belt tensioner pulley securing bolt may fail which will lead to the loss of power steering assistance and the necessity for the driver to supply additional input to steering the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the steering pump drive belt tensioner pulley securing bolt with a more robust version.
BONNET CATCH MAY RELEASE
It is possible that the bonnet striker may not have been correctly torqued. If the striker works loose for any reason it is possible that the bonnet may not be secure fly up and obstruct the drivers view to the front.
Recall affected vehicles check the bonnet striker and re-torque if required.
BRAKING MAY BE REDUCED
The rear brake line on top of the de Dion tube impacts on differential carrier securing bolts when suspension is at full travel. The concern was initially identified when investigating feedback from race car drivers on the de Dion tube hitting the differential carrier bolts. There have been no reported brake line failures to date from the field or during internal testing. Rear brake line may become crushed and eventually fail thus affecting rear brake operation.
Fit differently routed brake line.
CORROSION MAY AFFECT HANDBRAKE PERFORMANCE
As a result of water ingress and attendant corrosion in the rear calipers the parking brake may not hold the vehicle on a hill when normal force has been applied to the parking brake lever.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to either clean the axle and housing and fit new seals or where necessary replace the rear calipers.
LOSS OF STEERING
It is possible that the splines of the extension shaft on vehicles equipped with Electric Motor assisted Power Steering (EMPS) may not have received the correct hardness treatment. This can cause the spline to distort and wear and eventually result in loss of steering.
Recall affected vehicles check and if necessary replace the shaft.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR
In the Hybrid system of the subject vehicles there is an electrically driven water pump assembly that circulates coolant through the hybrid components. It is possible the coil wire of the electric motor installed in the water pump may have been scratched during the coiling manufacturing process at the supplier. In this condition the coil wire may corrode at the scratched portion and in some cases break. If this occurs the water pump could stop working leading to illumination of various warning lights in the instrument panel. In some cases a short circuit occurs between adjacent coil wires resulting in a blown fuse for the electric power supply circuit. This will cause the hybrid system to stop while the vehicle is being driven which increases the risk of an accident.
Replace the HV Electric Water Pump
LOSS OF STEERING
It is possible that the splines of the extension shaft on vehicles equipped with Electric Motor assisted Power Steering (EMPS) may not have received the correct hardness treatment. This can cause the spline to distort and wear and eventually result in loss of steering.
Recall affected vehicles check and if necessary replace the shaft.

Recall affected vehicles check and if necessary replace the shaft.
RISK OF FIRE
On a short production run certain SL Class vehicles had their air conditioning systems filled with the wrong refrigerant. Under normal driving there is not a safety risk. However should the vehicle be involved in a very heavy frontal impact accident which occurs in conjunction with a fracture of the refrigerant line it is possible that an engine compartment fire may occur.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the refrigerant with a version which is less flammable.
TREAD PATTERN MAY SEPARATE
The tread may detach which will be progressive. The warnings are: increasing vibrations and noise. If the warnings are ignored the tread can separate from the steel belting which leads to reduced handling and eventually to tyre 'blow out'.
Recall the tyres that are likely to be affected and replace them with quality assured product.
FLOOR MAT MAY IMPEDE ACCELERATOR PEDAL
It has been established that if the vehicle is fitted with all weather or ribbed floor mats the accelerator/throttle pedal may contact the floor mat. Although this will just be a temporary contact this could delay the accelerator/throttle pedal releasing.
Recall affected vehicles and check if the vehicle is fitted with all weather/ribbed floor mats. If fitted remove from the vehicle.
DRIVE MAY BE LOST
On the 2010 model year i-MiEV (Japanese specification Right Hand Drive vehicles only) the main battery 280 amp fuse may melt shutting off the high voltage electric circuit. This will result in electrical power no longer being supplied to the motor control unit. The car will fail to start or lose all drive regardless of the battery charge state and fault codes P1A15 and P1A17 are generated.
Rectification is the replacement of this fuse with a modified one.
INJURY MAY OCCUR IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS
The spot welding between the serrated rail and the airbag cover in the metal carrier of the instrument panel may not have been designed correctly. In the event of a vehicle crash with triggering of the front passenger airbag it is possible that the serrated rail detaches from the metal carrier of the instrument panel.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to rework the connection between the serrated rail and the airbag cover in the metal carrier of the instrument panel.
WIPER ARM MAY DETACH
Wiper arm may detach due to the wiper arm pivot pins not being to specification. If the wiper arms detach view to the front could be impaired.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the wiper arm pivot pins.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It is possible moisture or other fluids may enter the drivers window and contaminate the main power window switch. If this occurs and the switch is damaged it could overheat and cause it to melt and/or smoke. If this situation is not identified it could result in a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and check the switch. If the switch is not damaged a waterproof cover will be fitted. If the switch is damaged it will be replaced and a waterproof cover will be fitted.
CLUTCH PEDAL MAY DETACH
The clutch pedal may detach from the pedal box due to a non-conformity of the pedal pivot shaft.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new pivot shaft and retaining devices.
LOSS OF BRAKING EFFICIENCY
Possibility that brake fluid may leak from the rear brake calipers. This could result in a loss of braking efficiency
Replace rear brake calipers if required.
REAR-AXLE SUSPENSION LEVEL SENSOR MAY BREAK
On E Class vehicles without AIRMATIC blocking of the level sensor linkage may occur. In extreme cases this may lead to breakage of the level sensor linkage. The linkage is used to measure the vehicle level via a sensor. If the linkage breaks it is possible the level sensor constantly records a vehicle level that is too low. This leads to a contact pressure rise in both air spring bellows and to hardening of the rear-axle suspension causing a noticeable loss in comfort.
Replace the level sensor linkage on these vehicles as a precautionary measure.
ENGINE MAY FAIL
It has been established that the con-rod (big end) shell bearings may not have been manufactured to specification. This could lead to premature deterioration of the shells and if not identified it could result in engine failure.
Recall affected vehicles and replace con-rod shell bearings.
