Mercedes-Benz Potential Engine Compartment Fire

Posted on by

Mercedes-Benz will be asking approximately 147, 000 C-Class and E-Class owners to return their vehicles to an approved dealer to repair a safety problem. Due to a cosmetic design change to the rubber seal mounted on the top edge of the secondary bulkhead in the engine compartment, the seal may not adhere correctly. The seal may temporarily stick to the engine hood when it is open and drop into the area between the engine ant the secondary bulkhead. The loose end could contact parts of the exhaust system, potentially causing a fire.

The vehicles affected by this problem include:

Mercedes will be asking owners to return to their dealerships to have additional retaining clips added to the rubber seal.
