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.

2013 MERCEDES SL-CLASS
Manufactured between: 12/19/2011 and 05/31/2012
Defect: mercedes-benz is recalling certain model year 2013 sl-class vehicles manufactured from december 19, 2011, through may 31, 2012 originally equipped with r1234yf refrigerant. daimler ag (dag), the parent company of mercedes-benz, conducted product testing of a vehicle, not sold in the us, but equipped with the same refrigerant. according to mercedes-benz, the testing was designed to replicate worst-case conditions expected in a severe frontal crash that would cause a rupture of the air conditioner refrigerant line. a rupture of a refrigerant line will result in a gaseous mixture of refrigerant being released into the engine compartment.
Consequence: the testing conducted by dag determined that the escaping r1234yf refrigerant may ignite under specific conditions. the resulting fire could spread to additional combustible materials.
Action: mercedes-benz will notify owners, and dealers will replace the r1234yf refrigerant with r134a along with new refrigerant lines (hoses) designed specifically for r134a. the remedy will be provided free of charge. the safety recall began on november 8, 2012. owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.
