Mercedes-Benz Recall For Fuel Leaks

Posted on by

Daimler AG has announced that it will be recalling over 2,000 diesel Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the United States over a faulty engine filter that could leak fuel. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the O-ring on the engine fuel filter may not have been properly lubricated which could result in diesel spilling on roads creating a potential hazard. The models being recalled are:

  • 2011 M-Class
  • 2011 GL Class
  • 2011 E-Class
  • 2011 R-Class

Daimler Europe started to get complaints of the problem in July, and have already modified the part and lubrication process to fix the problem. Merdedes-Benz will start notifying U.S. consumers later this month. Owners can call Mercedes-Benz at 800-367-6372 or NHTSA’s hot line at 888-327-4236.
