Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 209 vehicles because of an engine fire risk linked to the integral steel cable that secures the rubber seal to the bulkhead, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported.
This recall affects 2016 model-year E350, E400, E400 4Matic, E63 4M S AMG, E350 4Matic, and E63-4M S AMG vehicles. Also covered are 2015 model-year CLS400, CLS400 4Matic, CLS550, CLS63-4M "P" AMG, and CLS550 4Matic vehicles.
The vehicles were manufactured April 16-22 of this year. The cable might have been damaged when a supplier reworked the rubber seal. If the rubber seal isn’t properly secured around the engine compartment, the seal might temporarily stick to an opened hood and then fall into the engine bay after the hood is closed, NHTSA said.
If the rubber seal falls into the engine compartment, it may contact parts of the engine or exhaust system. This poses a fire risk, NHTSA said.
Dealers will replace the rubber seal, in the engine compartment, free of charge. MBUSA’s number for the recall is 2015080001. Vehicle owners can reach the automaker at (201) 573-5339.
