Images were evaluated by both manual screening and image recognition software. By the end of February 2021, several million camera images from the production process were evaluated. Images of the fuel rails identified the potential for particle inclusions in the produced fuel rail components. It was also determined during this review that a process change in August 2020 that was part of continuous process improvement prevented the risk of particle inclusions from reoccurring. Subsequently, from March to April 2021, the isolated field complaints were reviewed and traced back to inclusions identified in fuel rails that were detected by the analysis of camera images. The analysis showed that these were small plastic and metal particles. From May to July 2021, the production plant and the development department analyzed whether the particles identified in fuel rails could lead to a leak in the seal between the fuel rail and the fuel injector. This analysis determined that it could not be ruled out that trapped sharp-edged particles could work their way into the seal over the vehicle’s operating life. In the following months, potential effects of leaking fuel from the seal between the fuel rail and fuel injector were investigated for a potential safety risk. On December 03, 2021, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer, will replace the fuel rail and fuel injectors on the affected vehicles. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 577.11(e), MBUSA does plan to provide notice about pre-notice reimbursement to owners since most of the involved vehicles would have been previously subject to the condition described and customers who have already paid to have this recall condition corrected may be eligible to receive reimbursement.

Images were evaluated by both manual screening and image recognition software. By the end of February 2021, several million camera images from the production process were evaluated. Images of the fuel rails identified the potential for particle inclusions in the produced fuel rail components. It was also determined during this review that a process change in August 2020 that was part of continuous process improvement prevented the risk of particle inclusions from reoccurring. Subsequently, from March to April 2021, the isolated field complaints were reviewed and traced back to inclusions identified in fuel rails that were detected by the analysis of camera images. The analysis showed that these were small plastic and metal particles. From May to July 2021, the production plant and the development department analyzed whether the particles identified in fuel rails could lead to a leak in the seal between the fuel rail and the fuel injector. This analysis determined that it could not be ruled out that trapped sharp-edged particles could work their way into the seal over the vehicle’s operating life. In the following months, potential effects of leaking fuel from the seal between the fuel rail and fuel injector were investigated for a potential safety risk. On December 03, 2021, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall. To date Mercedes-Benz is only aware of the one aforementioned customer complaint in the US. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer, will replace the fuel rail and fuel injectors on the affected vehicles. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 577.11(e), MBUSA does plan to provide notice about pre-notice reimbursement to owners since most of the involved vehicles would have been previously subject to the condition described and customers who have already paid to have this recall condition corrected may be eligible to receive reimbursement.

Images were evaluated by both manual screening and image recognition software. By the end of February 2021, several million camera images from the production process were evaluated. Images of the fuel rails identified the potential for particle inclusions in the produced fuel rail components. It was also determined during this review that a process change in August 2020 that was part of continuous process improvement prevented the risk of particle inclusions from reoccurring. Subsequently, from March to April 2021, the isolated field complaints were reviewed and traced back to inclusions identified in fuel rails that were detected by the analysis of camera images. The analysis showed that these were small plastic and metal particles. From May to July 2021, the production plant and the development department analyzed whether the particles identified in fuel rails could lead to a leak in the seal between the fuel rail and the fuel injector. This analysis determined that it could not be ruled out that trapped sharp-edged particles could work their way into the seal over the vehicle’s operating life. In the following months, potential effects of leaking fuel from the seal between the fuel rail and fuel injector were investigated for a potential safety risk. On December 03, 2021, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall. To date Mercedes-Benz is only aware of the one aforementioned customer complaint in the US. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer, will replace the fuel rail and fuel injectors on the affected vehicles. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 577.11(e), MBUSA does plan to provide notice about pre-notice reimbursement to owners since most of the involved vehicles would have been previously subject to the condition described and customers who have already paid to have this recall condition corrected may be eligible to receive reimbursement.

Images were evaluated by both manual screening and image recognition software. By the end of February 2021, several million camera images from the production process were evaluated. Images of the fuel rails identified the potential for particle inclusions in the produced fuel rail components. It was also determined during this review that a process change in August 2020 that was part of continuous process improvement prevented the risk of particle inclusions from reoccurring. Subsequently, from March to April 2021, the isolated field complaints were reviewed and traced back to inclusions identified in fuel rails that were detected by the analysis of camera images. The analysis showed that these were small plastic and metal particles. From May to July 2021, the production plant and the development department analyzed whether the particles identified in fuel rails could lead to a leak in the seal between the fuel rail and the fuel injector. This analysis determined that it could not be ruled out that trapped sharp-edged particles could work their way into the seal over the vehicle’s operating life. In the following months, potential effects of leaking fuel from the seal between the fuel rail and fuel injector were investigated for a potential safety risk. On December 03, 2021, MBAG determined that a potential safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to conduct a recall. To date Mercedes-Benz is only aware of the one aforementioned customer complaint in the US. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer, will replace the fuel rail and fuel injectors on the affected vehicles. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 577.11(e), MBUSA does plan to provide notice about pre-notice reimbursement to owners since most of the involved vehicles would have been previously subject to the condition described and customers who have already paid to have this recall condition corrected may be eligible to receive reimbursement.
