MERCEDES-BENZ R320 Recalls

The Mercedes-Benz R320 has 1 recall affecting the 2013 model year, where a damaged communication pathway in a crash can prevent the engine and fuel pump from shutting down, leaving fuel flowing to a hot or damaged engine and raising the risk of a post-collision fire. The backup communication link between the airbag control unit and the engine control unit is the specific failure point. If the primary pathway is severed in a crash, the secondary pathway may not send the shutdown command, meaning the engine and fuel pump continue running when they should stop. This recall applies only to the 2013 R320 4MATIC CDI with the six-cylinder diesel engine.
