IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL 2020070017 This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: Check Turbocharger Screw Torque NHTSA Recall #20V364 October, 2020 Dear Mercedes-Benz Owner: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year (“MY”) 2020 C-Class, E-Class, and GLC-Class vehicles. Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in the affected population of vehicles. What is the CONCERN? On certain MY 2020 C-Class, E-Class, and GLC-Class vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder gasoline engine, the screws that retain the turbocharger oil feed and the return lines may not have been properly tightened during the assembly process due to a deviation in documentation. As a result, the mounting of the turbo charger oil feed and the return lines might not be correct.

As a result, confirmation of the correct mounting of the assembly cannot be ensured. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : Should the mounting assembly not meet the torque specification, the turbocharger oil feed and return lines could detach, and leak oil, which could potentially contact hot engine components increasing the risk of a fire. Description of the Cause : Due to a production deviation, the data documenting the correct mounting of the turbocharger oil feed and oil return lines might be missing. Due to the missing documentation, no confirmation is available whether the screws were correctly mounted to the turbocharger oil feed as well as the oil return line during the assembly process. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : The customer will not receive an advance warning due to the nature of the failure mechanism.

In April 2020, analyses were started to evaluate potential effects if the torque value at the screws for the oil lines at the turbocharger did not meet specification. In parallel, the range of potentially affected vehicles was determined. On June 15, 2020, MBAG determined that a potential safety consequence cannot be ruled out. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check the mounting of the turbocharger oil feed and oil return line on the affected vehicles and rework it, if necessary. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 577.11(e), MBUSA does not plan to provide notice about pre-notice reimbursement to owners since none of the involved vehicles would have been previously subject to the condition described and all remain covered under the new vehicle warranty. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Correctly mounted turbocharger oil feed and oil return lines. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : A change in the production procedure at the plant ensures that this issue can no longer occur from March 19, 2020 onwards. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Dealers will be notified of the pending voluntary recall campaign on June 30, 2020. Owners will be notified of the voluntary recall campaign approximately one week after launch to the dealers on August 17, 2020. A copy of all communications will be provided when available.

In April 2020, analyses were started to evaluate potential effects if the torque value at the screws for the oil lines at the turbocharger did not meet specification. In parallel, the range of potentially affected vehicles was determined. On June 15, 2020, MBAG determined that a potential safety consequence cannot be ruled out. On June 23, MBAG filed a Safety Recall for the issue. Due to a documentation error at the factory, certain potentially affected vehicles might not have been identified in the recalled production range. On September 4, 2020, MBAG determined that a safety risk cannot be ruled out and decided to extend the recall population Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check the mounting of the turbocharger oil feed and oil return line on the affected vehicles and rework it, if necessary. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 577.11(e), MBUSA does not plan to provide notice about pre-notice reimbursement to owners since none of the involved vehicles would have been previously subject to the condition described and all remain covered under the new vehicle warranty. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Correctly mounted turbocharger oil feed and oil return lines.

The recall population was determined through production records. Vehicles outside of the recall population have documentation confirming the mounting of the oil return and turbocharger oil feed lines meet specifications. Production Dates : JUN 28, 2019 – MAR 12, 2020 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : Mercedes-Benz AG, (“MBAG”) the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year (“MY”) 2020 C-Class, E-Class, and GLCClass vehicles (205, 213, 253 platform) equipped with a 4-cylinder gasoline engine (M264), the screws that retain the turbocharger oil feed and return lines may not have been properly torqued during the assembly process due to a deviation in the data documentation. As a result, confirmation of the correct mounting of the assembly cannot be ensured. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : Should the mounting assembly not meet the torque specification, the turbocharger oil feed and return lines could detach, and leak oil, which could potentially contact hot engine components increasing the risk of a fire. Description of the Cause : Due to a production deviation, the data documenting the correct mounting of the turbocharger oil feed and oil return lines might be missing. Due to the missing documentation, no confirmation is available whether the screws were correctly mounted to the turbocharger oil feed as well as the oil return line during the assembly process. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : The customer will not receive an advance warning due to the nature of the failure mechanism. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : NR Component Description : NR Component Part Number : NR Part 573 Safety Recall Report 20V-364 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : NR Address : NR NR Country : NR Chronology : In March 2020, MBAG launched initial investigations based on a finding during internal analysis for quality assurance in the production plant that indicated that the data documenting the correct mounting of the turbocharger oil feed and oil return lines might be missing. In April 2020, analyses were started to evaluate potential effects if the torque value at the screws for the oil lines at the turbocharger did not meet specification. In parallel, the range of potentially affected vehicles was determined. On June 15, 2020, MBAG determined that a potential safety consequence cannot be ruled out. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check the mounting of the turbocharger oil feed and oil return line on the affected vehicles and rework it, if necessary. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 577.11(e), MBUSA does not plan to provide notice about pre-notice reimbursement to owners since none of the involved vehicles would have been previously subject to the condition described and all remain covered under the new vehicle warranty. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Correctly mounted turbocharger oil feed and oil return lines. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : A change in the production procedure at the plant ensures that this issue can no longer occur from March 19, 2020 onwards. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Dealers will be notified of the pending voluntary recall campaign on June 29, 2020. Owners will be notified of the voluntary recall campaign approximately one week after launch to the dealers on August 21, 2020. A copy of all communications will be provided when available.
