active

2017–2018 Mercedes-Benz S CLASS

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd

Recall date: 26 September 2018

Defect

During assembly, two nuts for mounting busbars in the prefuse box located in the vehicle's trunk may not have been installed.

Hazard

This could increase resistances between the busbars and thus present a fire hazard. In addition, the interruption of electrical contact of the busbars may lead to function failures. The running of the engine, belt functions and the instrument cluster could be among the components affected. This may increase the risk of an accident and also the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
