UK DVSAThe routing of the fuel feed hose might not meet specifications
Risk: Fuel hose might be incorrectly routed with a possibility of chaffing and leakage.
Fix: Check the routing of the fuel feed hose on affected vehicles and rework it if necessary.
UK DVSAElectrical wiring in steering assembly may be insufficiently grounded
Risk: The steering column clock spring may break. This will cause warning messages to illuminate in the instrument cluster but in extreme instances it may cause the driver's airbag to deploy
Fix: .Affected vehicles will be recalled to be checked to ensure there is sufficient grounding of the steering components.
UK DVSAElectrical wiring in steering assembly may be insufficiently grounded
Risk: The steering column clock spring may break. This will cause warning messages to illuminate in the instrument cluster but in extreme instances it may cause the driver's airbag to deploy.
Fix: Affected vehicles will be recalled to establish sufficient grounding of the steering components.
UK DVSASteering power assist may deactivate
Risk: The connector on the electric power steering control unit may not be properly sealed against water entry. If water enters the control unit the power steering assistance can be lost. The steering assistance not working could increase the risk of collision.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the plug housing of the electric power steering.
UK DVSAStarting current limiter may overload
Risk: Where the car incurs severe engine damage resulting in the engine failing to turn over (engine seizure) and if the driver repeatedly attempts to start the engine despite the engine not cranking the very high electrical current could lead to overheating of the starting current limiter and the potential for a fire.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and install an additional fuse in the electrical line to the starter.
UK DVSAElectric power steering motor defective
Risk: Contacts inside the electric power steering motor may not have been correctly formed. Failure of these contacts would cause the loss of power steering assistance.If this happens a warning lamp will illuminate
Fix: Replace the electric power steering motor on affected vehicles.
UK DVSAFaulty control unit may cause vehicle to perform outside specification
Risk: Where a control unit coding was updated in a workshop between 3 December 2016 and 5 December 2016 the coding may not correspond to the specification and may trigger unplanned action in the vehicle. The safety and emissions systems may not react as design intent.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software in the corresponding control units.
UK DVSAShort circuit may occur
Risk: The wiring to the front windscreen washers may not have been correctly routed. This may cause a short circuit and render the wipers in operative.
Fix: On affected vehicles check wiring and rework where necessary.
UK DVSAFront airbag may be deactivated
Risk: It has been identified that the front passenger seat occupancy weight sensing system control unit may have bee incorrectly installed during assembly. If the passenger seat is placed in the rear/lower position range then it can cause the pressure hose to become kinked which will reclassify the occupant as being a child seat. This will result in the front passenger airbag being deactivated and place the occupant at a higher risk of injury if the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the pressure pipe. If found to be kinked then the dealer is to contact MB Technical Department to establish the rectification process.
UK DVSALoss of power steering supportYears estimated
Risk: It has been identified that the pins within the electric power assisted steering control unit may not have been contact welded correctly. This can result in an open circuit which will lead to a loss of power steering assistance and possible loss of control of the vehicle.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles and replace electric power assisted steering.
UK DVSARisk of fire
Risk: On certain 6 and 8 cylinder engine vehicles a faulty rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead may have been installed. It is therefore possible that the panel/bulkhead may contact the left exhaust catalytic converter due to insufficient clearance. If the catalytic converter is subjected to high temperatures due to heavy driving conditions i.e. full throttle or towing then there is a risk of the rear engine compartment panel igniting and a vehicle fire ensuing.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the clearance between the rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead and the exhaust catalytic converter. If the clearance is insufficient then the rear engine compartment panel/bulkhead will be replaced.
UK DVSAVehicle may cut out
Risk: The rear bench seat frame may impede the wiring harness connecting the fuel supply pump. This could affect fuel supply and the engine may cut out.
Fix: On affected vehicles check condition of the wiring harness repair if necessary and reroute.
UK DVSAEngine may lose power
Risk: The subject vehicle could unexpectedly lose drive and coast to a halt with no motive power due to a software issue in the powertrain control unit. In certain circumstances it is possible that the risk of collision is heightened.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software of the power train control unit.
UK DVSARisk of fire
Risk: The high pressure fuel lines have not been manufactured to the correct specification which over time can lead to crack formation and fuel leaking. Fuel escaping in the presence of an ignition source could lead to fire.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the high pressure fuel lines.
UK DVSAEngine hood may not behave as intended in a collision
Risk: The reset mechanism for the dynamic bonnet (for pedestrian protection) might not have been fitted during manufacture. In the event of a head on collision where the dynamic bonnet is triggered the bonnet may not behave as designed thereby putting the vehicle occupants at higher risk of injury.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check if the bonnet reset mechanism is fitted. Where the reset mechanism is missing fit a reset mechanism.
UK DVSAEngine may fail
Risk: The camshaft could break and damage the engine due to it not being manufactured to the correct specification. If the condition occurs it will lead to a sudden loss of drive thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the exhaust camshaft.
UK DVSAFire may occur
Risk: The engine compartment seal may not be fully secure. There is a possibility that the seal may become dislodged and fall between the engine and the fire wall. If this occurs it is possible for the seal to contact very hot items such as the catalytic converter and a fire to start.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a new seal with fittings.
UK DVSAFire may occur
Risk: A seal between bonnet and engine compartment may when the bonnet is opened temporarily stick to the bonnet. If this happens the seal may detach form its fixing and can fall into the gap between engine and partition wall. It is then possible the seal can make contact with the exhaust and under certain conditions catch fire.
Fix: On affected vehicles install additional clips to retain the seal.
UK DVSAOil may leak
Risk: On certain diesel engines the 'O' ring may not have been produced to the correct specification. This may allow oil to leak and contaminate the environment. If excessive oil is lost engine damage may occur.
Fix: On affected vehicles replace the chain tensioner sealing ring.

Panoramic Sunroof bonding and bolts loose causing constant horrific cracking/clanking sounds due to shifting of glass. Possible frame and airbag damage, possible glass falling, possible injury/accident/death. Can cause issues with airbags deploying and water leaks. Mercedes mechanic said it's the worst case/noise he has heard in any Mercedes. Same make/year/model has been recalled in other plants. Also, walnut trim has faded tremendously.
The sub frame of this car is being replaced under a warranty extension due to severe rusting and separation creating an extremely unsafe driving condition. It was determined during inspection the rear brake lines were also corroded. This is also due to environmental exposure and substandard materials of construction. Many E classes of the W212 and prior have this concern but Mercedes is not covering the brake lines as part of this warranty. In fact they are charging up to $4000 to replace with the subframe already removed!! This is highly concerning as this is a safety concern that must be…
