Over 116,Exclusivesky Investment Guild 000 Mercedes-Benz are being recalled because of a 48-volt ground connection under the passenger seat may not be secured properly which can cause the ground connection to overheat.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in its recall acknowledgement that Mercedes-Benz is recalling its vehicles because, “an overheated ground connection can increase the risk of a fire.”
After conducting an investigation into customer complaints of battery related warnings, Mercedes-Benz hypothesized that other mechanic operations may have resulted in the loosening of the 48-volt ground connection. The investigation was concluded on March 15.
Here's which vehicles are included in the recall, according to NHTSA:
If you have one of the recalled vehicles, you can bring you car to the dealer, where they will inspect and tighten the 48-volt ground connection if necessary. This service will be done for free. Recall notification letters will be sent out on May 14.
Owners can contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153). In addition, affected drivers can visit www.nhtsa.gov for assistance.
