Ikon Auto - Manufacturer Recall Data Copyright 2006 Ikon Auto en-us Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:05:24 EST Automobile Recalls 1440 Defect: mercedes-benz is recalling model year 2009 550 g-class vehicles. the fuel line quick connectors located under the vehicle away from the engine compartment may not have been connected properly on the assembly line and completely seated in the connection. in case of a frontal crash, the fuel pump would no longer function but a partial dislocation of the line could lead to a potential for fuel loss from the line at the quick connector.
Consequence: fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Action: dealers will check the connection of the fuel line quick connectors and install a new clamp to assure the quick connectors secure connection. the remedy will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during january 2010. owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.

Consequence: a variation in the transmitted values between affected and unaffected sensors can result in one front strut adjusting to a value indicating body movement while another strut does not adjust presenting the driver with an uneven front suspension. this condition may lead to unexpected body movements at the front axle which can adversely influence the vehicle's directional stability and could lead to a vehicle crash.

Consequence: a variation in the transmitted values between affected and unaffected sensors can result in one front strut adjusting to a value indicating body movement while another strut does not adjust presenting the driver with an uneven front suspension. this condition may lead to unexpected body movements at the front axle which can adversely influence the vehicle's directional stability and could lead to a vehicle crash.
Action: dealers will inspect and replace, if necessary, the front abc sensors in all potentially affected vehicles. the recall began on september 22, 2008. owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.

Consequence: if vehicles are not routinely serviced and have extremely high mileage combined with a high number of brake actuations, or a high brake actuation frequency, the pump motor of the sbc may run out of permissible tolerances, thereby triggering the hydraulic function mode.

Consequence: a variation in the transmitted values between affected and unaffected sensors can result in one front strut adjusting to a value indicating body movement while another strut does not adjust presenting the driver with an uneven front suspension. this condition may lead to unexpected body movements at the front axle which can adversely influence the vehicle's directional stability and could lead to a vehicle crash.
