CarRecallWatch- Component
- FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
- Problem
- Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain model year 2014 E350 and E350 4Matic sedans manufactured June 4, 2014, to July 9, 2014. The affected vehicles were built with a fuel feed line that has a single flare fitting instead of a double flare fitting.
- Risk
- If the fuel feed line has the incorrect flare fitting, the connection between the fuel hose and the fuel feed line might develop a leak or may completely disconnect. Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire and if the fuel feed line disconnects, the vehicle would stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct fuel line, free of charge. This recall began on January 11, 2016. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Some 2014 E350 sedans built between June 4 and July 9, 2014 have a fuel feed line with a single flare fitting instead of the correct double flare fitting. Over time, the connection between the fuel hose and the fuel feed line can develop a leak or fully disconnect.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can cause a fire. If the fuel feed line disconnects, the engine can stall, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should not ignore signs of a fuel smell or visible fuel leak near the engine.
Mercedes-Benz will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will install the correct fuel line at no cost. You can call Mercedes-Benz customer service at 1-800-367-6372 for help, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
