It has been determined that on certain C-Class (205) and E-Class (213) Cars with AMG performance seats the laser welding between the backrest rail and the backrest metal fitting of the driver or passenger seat might not meet the specification. The laser welding between the backrest member and the backrest metal fitting may not withstand the required load values. As a result the fitting may detach from the backrest member. In the case of an accident this could result in a higher occupant load. Due to the delivery scenario the fault can only occur on one side of the seat.
Fix: As a precautionary measure recall the affected vehicles and check the backrest member and replace if necessary

C-CLASS · driver's airbag gas generator housing failure during deployment
14 Aug 2018 · R/2018/168
On affected vehicles it has been determined that drivers airbags with potentially faulty gas generator housing material may have been installed in vehicles of model series 156 176 246 205 238 & 253. If the material of the gas generator housing fails during airbag deployment in the event of a crash the airbag system would possibly no longer have a restraint effect. In addition separating parts could enter the passenger compartment. This could lead to an increased risk of injury.

V CLASS · rotating front seat wire fixings can loosen
13 Aug 2018 · R/2018/157
It has been determined that on V-Class and Vito models with rotating front seats (SA codes SB5/SB6) the front seats can loosen the wire fixings under the seats when being rotated. Should the wiring harness be damaged in the worst-case scenario this could lead to deactivation of the thorax bag or to unintentional triggering of the thorax bag in the case of a short circuit caused in the process. A disarmed thorax bag is indicated via the SRS indicator lamp.
Fix: Since the beginning of June 2017 the series has protected the wiring from jamming and damage by using an optimized mounting clip. We will recall and bring the installation of the cables under the swivel seats on the affected vehicles up to the optimized current series status

It has been determined that on Vito models with rotating front seats (SA codes SB5/SB6) the front seats can loosen the wire fixings under the seats when being rotated. Should the wiring harness be damaged in the worst-case scenario this could lead to deactivation of the thorax bag or to unintentional triggering of the thorax bag in the case of a short circuit caused in the process. A disarmed thorax bag is indicated via the SRS indicator lamp. The reason for this is the technical concept which allows for flexible cable harness installation depending on the seat mounting.
Fix: Since the beginning of June 2017 the series has protected the wiring from jamming and damage by using an optimized mounting clip. We will recall and bring the installation of the cables under the swivel seats on the affected vehicles up to the optimized current series status.

On affected vehicles the possibility exists that there may be a software error in the tyre pressure monitoring system of some X-Class vehicles If the tyre pressure falls below the minimum level required the intended warning message may not be shown in instrument cluster as a result of this error. Driving with tyre pressure that is too low causes increased and/or uneven tyre wear and changes the steering and braking behaviour of the vehicle. This may increase the risk of accident
Fix: As a precautionary measure recall the affected vehicles and perform a software check/update in the tyre pressure monitor control unit.

GLE · potential oil leak from transmission oil cooler lines
1 Aug 2018 · R/2018/156
It has been determined that it is possible that the connectors for the transmission oil cooler lines were not pressed together in accordance with specifications. As a result the transmission oil cooler lines could work loose while driving and transmission oil could leak out. Because of a deviation in the supplier�s production process it is possible that the connectors on transmission oil cooler lines from two specific batches were not pressed together in accordance with specifications. In this case the vehicle could possibly lose propulsion due to oil loss in the transmission. The escaping oil could get onto the roadway thus increasing the risk of an accident for following traffic. Also it cannot be excluded that escaping transmission oil could come into contact with hot component parts of the exhaust system and ignite
Fix: Check the transmission oil cooler lines and replace them if necessary

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.
Fix: 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.

9 Mar 2016 · R/2016/033
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.
Fix: 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.

S CLASS · stop start engine may not restart
8 Jan 2016 · R/2015/247
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.
Fix: 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.

C CLASS · engine may stall
19 May 2015 · R/2015/081
It is possible on certain petrol (gasoline) vehicles that the mounting hooks for the jet pump may not have been manufactured to specification. The jet pump is mounted on top of the fuel delivery module in the fuel tank and if the mounting hooks were to fail it will result in the jet pump detaching from the module and a possible fall in fuel pressure. This fall in fuel pressure could either result in the engine not starting or in worst cases causing the engine to cut out or stall. This could affect the drivers ability to control the vehicle.
Fix: Recall all likely to be affected vehicles to install an additional clip to the jet pump.

E CLASS · rear-axle suspension level sensor may break
16 Nov 2012 · R/2012/111
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.
Fix: Replace the level sensor linkage on these vehicles as a precautionary measure.

Water can enter in the front passenger footwell. The cause of this was found to be incompletely installed stop plugs at the cab under the windscreen wiper recess trim. If this fault exists water can penetrate behind the sealing of the cab/chassis connecting point. In the worst case contact corrosion and corresponding consequential damage e.g. short circuits and undefined current paths with high current flows may occur at plug contacts wiring harness and a sensor not designed to be watertight.
Fix: Check affected vehicles to see whether all planned stop plugs are installed under the windshield wiper recess trim. Any missing stop plugs will be retrofitted.
