ON VEHICLES WITH FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND AUTOMATIC LOCKING FRONT HUBS, THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE, BETWEEN THE BODY BRAKE TUBING AND THE FRONT AXLE CONNECTOR, MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED (TWISTED) DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. IF TWISTED, THE HOSE CAN BE LOOPED UPON ITSELF IN A MANNER THAT MAY ALLOW ABRASIVE CONTACT DURING NORMAL SUSPENSION TRAVEL. THIS COULD RESULT IN EVENTUAL HOSE FAILURE AND PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY.
No risk description available.
VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND BRAKE LINES REROUTED IF NECESSARY.
On certain vehicles, the multifunction switch may develop an open circuit condition with the bottom contact of the hazard switch, causing the stop lamps and the hazard lamps to become inoperable (the center high mounted stop lamp and turn signal functions are not affected). The loss of stop lamp and rear hazard lamp function could fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped, which could result in a crash causing personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and replace either the hazard warning switch, or the multifunction switch assembly.

No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
On certain vehicles, the vehicle type printed on the compliance label is incorrect. The vehicle type should be "MPV/VTUM" instead of "PC/VT". Canadian regulations require the vehicle type to be identified on the compliance label.
This small error does not affect safety.
This is not a recall. Mercedes-Benz has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have the correct vehicle type printed on the compliance label.
On certain electric vehicles, the wheel bolts may not have been tightened properly. Over time, the wheel bolts could loosen and cause a loss of vehicle stability.
A loss of vehicle stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the wheel bolts.
On certain vehicles, the throttle cable could move out of position during vehicle acceleration. This can permit the throttle cable to be hung-up, which could result in a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a cable guide clip on the throttle body.
THE REAR BRAKE HOSE CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE REAR BRAKE DISC, POSSIBLY ABRADING THE HOSE AND RESULTING IN LOSS OF REAR BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS. THIS COULD RESULT IN A SLIGHT INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
No risk description available.
UPPER BRAKE HOSE CLAMP WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED CLAMP WHICH WILL ROUTE THE REAR BRAKE HOSE AWAY FROM THE BRAKE DISC. REAR BRAKE HOSE WILL BE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.5-L 4-cylinder engine, the engine block may be porous. As a result, the engine block could crack and cause internal or external coolant leaks. This could cause engine overheating or internal engine damage and result in an engine failure. For non-hybrid vehicles, this could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Note: This problem may lead to engine noise, smoke, cause warning lights to turn on and/or cause an audible chime to sound before an engine failure.
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, an engine failure could create the risk of a fire.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the engine block casting serial number. If the serial number is within the identified range, the dealer will replace the engine with a new one.
On certain vehicles, the flexible steel cable that attaches the seat belt to the outside of the front seats may weaken over time. As a result, the seat belt could detach.
A seat belt that detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.
Volvo will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front-outboard seat belt anchors.
On certain vehicles, the clockspring electrical connector may not be fully secured to the driver side air bag module squib pin connector due to the retaining groove in the module not having sufficient depth to hold the connector in the assembled position. If the connector comes loose, the supplemental air bag warning light will come on. However, the driver side air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealer will install a retaining clip on the clockspring electrical connector.
VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN VUILT WITH RIVETS OF INSUFFICIENT STRENGTH ATTACHING THE FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM TO THE BALL JOINT. THESE RIVETS MAYU NOT WITHSTAND HIGH IMPACT LOADING AND A RIVET FAILURE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
Certain vehicles may not display the correct warning indicator when there is a problem with the brake system. As a result, the brake system malfunction indicator lamp ("BRAKE") might be displayed instead of the required indicator lamp ("(!)"). Canadian regulations require the use of a symbol, instead of text.
This small error does not affect the function of the brake system or the accuracy of the information displayed.
This is not a recall. Mercedes Benz has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles display the correct brake system malfunction indicator symbol.
On certain vehicles, the windshield and/or the fixed rear quarter glass may have been assembled using incorrect urethane adhesive. This situation could affect glass retention. Should the glass separate while the vehicle is underway, it could strike a motorist or pedestrian, which could result in personal injuries or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace windshield and/or fixed rear quarter glass.
On certain vehicles, the headlights may not be properly adjusted, and could be aimed too high.
Headlights that are not properly adjusted could cause glare for oncoming drivers. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Mercedes will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to check the headlight adjustment and correct it, if necessary.
VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITHOUT A FUEL TANK SHIELD AT THE RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF THE MIDSHIP FUEL TANK. THIS CONDITION ALLOWS THE MIDSHIP FUEL TANK TO CONTACT THE TRANSMISSION EXTENSION HOUSING OR THE DRIVESHAFT FRONT UNIVERSAL JOINT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IMPACTED INTO A FIXED BARRIER AT 30 M.P.H. IN ACCORDANCE WITH CANADA MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 301 - FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY. THE RESULTANT FUEL SPILLAGE COULD EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AMOUNTS BY THE SAFETY STANDARD.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
Certain vehicles equipped with an anti-lock brake system (ABS) and without electronic stability control (ESC) may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 105 - Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems. The brake system indicator tell-tale may not illuminate during the lamp function check when the ignition is initially turned to the “ON” (run) position, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard.
No risk description available.
Dealers will correct the coding of the instrument cluster software.
On certain vehicles, the cable seal of one or both of the electric power steering (EPS) connectors may not be properly seated which could allow water to enter and corrode the connections. This could lead to increased resistance in the EPS circuit which could result in intermittent or permanent loss of the steering assist. A loss of power steering assist could unexpectedly increase steering effort which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will ensure the connector is fully seated and secure it in place.
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 7.0 LITRE LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) ENGINE OR 7.0 LITRE EFI (GASOLINE) ENGINE WITH THE OPTIONAL CAB FLOOR PAN REINFORCEMENTS. A WIRE/CABLE PINCHING BETWEEN THE OPTIONAL CAB REINFORCEMENTS AND THE FRAME CAN OCCUR RESULTING IN ABRASION AND, POTENTIALLY, A SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSING OVERHEATING AND ARCING.
No risk description available.
THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS AND BATTERY CABLE INSTALLATION WILL BE INSPECTED AND MODIFIED.
On certain vehicles, the automatic transaxle shift lever appears to be in PARK, but can easily be moved from the PARK position without the use of the key, transaxle lever detent button, or depressing the brake. If the shift lever were to come out of PARK while the vehicle is parked on a non-level surface, a roll away could occur with the possibility of a crash without prior warning.
No risk description available.
Shifter assembly will be replaced.
