| CL RECALLS | Top |
| 2008 MERCEDES CL Manufactured between: 10/27/2007 and 12/31/2007 Defect: mercedes-benz is recalling 3,283 my 2008 s-class and cl-class passenger vehicles. a malfunction may occur on the signal acquisition and actuation module-front (sam-f) transistors. the sam-f is a double transistor that helps control vehicle functions and the lighting of the center console. incorrect storage of the transistors led the transistors to be exposed to excess humidity. Consequence: the presence of this moisture in combination with the thermal stress during the "reflow soldering" may damage the transistors and prevent them from properly functioning which will increase the risk of crash. Action: dealers will inspect and replace all potentially affected sam free of charge. the recall began on may 2, 2008. owner may contact mercedes benz at 1-800-367-6372. Recall Date: 03/19/2008 | |

| CLS CLASS RECALLS | Top |
| 2006 MERCEDES CLS CLASS Manufactured between: 03/01/2004 and 03/31/2005 Defect: on certain vehicles, the sensotronic brake control (sbc) system may prematurely shift to the hydraulic back-up function mode, due to deterioration of the wiring harness connection, or due to premature failure of the hydraulic pump. Consequence: in the hydraulic back-up mode, the driver has braking power sufficient to stop the vehicle, although greater brake pedal pressure is required and the brake pedal travel will be noticeably longer. Action: dealers will install a bracket and replacement ground wire to the sbc pump unit on all vehicles free of charge. additionally dealers will inspect and replace the sbc pump unit in sl vehicles produced during a limited production period. the recall began on august 8, 2005. owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372. Recall Date: 04/01/2005 | |
| G55 RECALLS | Top |
| 2005 MERCEDES G55 Manufactured between: 04/01/2005 and 04/30/2005 Defect: on certain sport utility vehicles, the fuel return hose between fuel tank and return line can be permeated with fuel. this situation results from the expansion and contraction of the hose under pressure causing microcracks in the hose material. Consequence: these microcracks may cause fuel leakage. fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Action: dealers will inspect and replace all fuel return hoses with the appropriate hoses free of charge. the recall began on september 27, 2005. owners may contact mercedes benz at 1-800-367-6372. Recall Date: 08/29/2005 | |

| SLR MCLAREN RECALLS | Top |
| 2006 MERCEDES SLR MCLAREN Manufactured between: 10/01/2003 and 05/31/2006 Defect: on certain passenger vehicles, under hard operating conditions, the engine compartment temperature can increase to a level which exceeds the design parameters for the alternator to not function and it will become damaged. Consequence: this will create the potential for an engine compartment fire. Action: dealers will improve the engine compartment and alternator cooling, install a modified control unit and a new alternator free of charge. the recall began on june 23, 2006. owners may contact mercedes benz at 1-800-367-6372. Recall Date: 06/19/2006 | |
