2015 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC CLASSTransport Canada Recall #2017062
Defect
On certain vehicles, the starting current limiter could be overloaded under certain conditions. In the event the starter is blocked, a very high electric current could flow through the starting current limiter during repeated engine starting attempts. The high electric draw could cause the starting current limiter to overheat causing the surrounding components to melt which would increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install an additional fuse in the electrical line to the starter.
