Mercedes-Benz Recall Issued: Nearly 80,000 Cars Affected
Mercedes-Benz is recalling a huge line-up of cars in the United States due to a critical fault in the fuel pump impeller. This issue poses a risk of complete power loss. The Mercedes-Benz recall, affecting 79,676 cars, was prompted by concerns raised in June 2022 after reports of erratic power delivery in certain models outside the U.S.
What Is The Issue?
The recall addresses a malfunction in the fuel pump impeller, discovered during a six-month investigation. The impeller's deformation, failing to meet specifications, may lead to contact with the fuel pump housing, causing mechanical resistance.?
This issue has the potential to result in the fuel pump shutting down, consequently causing a loss of vehicle propulsion and elevating the risk of accidents or injuries. The issue came to light in June 2022 following reports of inconsistent power delivery with specific models outside the U.S.
We have Mercedes-Benz cars imported into the country from the United States. This means some of the cars that have made it to the UAE market could be affected by the recall.
What Is The Solution?
To rectify the problem, Mercedes-Benz will replace the fuel delivery module on affected vehicles at no cost to owners. Additionally, the brand is also modifying the production procedure at the fuel pump supplier, ensuring the issue will no longer occur in cars manufactured.
