What can happen

Safety consequence

If the fuel filter flange cracks, it will leak fuel which may lead to a fire if an external ignition source is present.

What fixes it

Official remedy

Mercedes-Benz will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel filter, free of charge. The recall campaign is expected to begin in February 2013. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz at 1-800-367-6372.
