Four recalls for seven Mazda’s and Mercedes-Benz’s models were announced in the 30th week of 2019. On the list of motorcycles, we can see a new recall for Peugeot’s Kisbee and Streetzone scooters.
We wrote about the possible blockage of the Mazda‘s engine intake valve at the beginning of July – see here. This week’s recall for the Mazda 3, Mazda 6 and Mazda CX-5 also mention the intake valve, but the cause is different. In the previously mentioned actions, it was the failure of the control unit when switching from cylinder deactivation mode to normal mode, this time the air inlet valve may get stuck in a closed position due to accumulated soot. The production period also differs. In our article we write about cars from the years 2017 – 2019, Rapex mentions the years 2012 – 2018.
In addition, the Mazda 3 from the years 2015-2017 may have a faulty Front Body Control Module (F-BCM), which may cause the windscreen wipers to fail.
Mercedes-Benz
The fixing screws for the turbocharger oil return line and the crankcase breather pipe may have been interchanged with the Mercedes C-Class, E-Class and CLS with four-cylinder petrol engines. Due to a screw being too long, the pre-tensioning force of the screw connection may be insufficient and oil could leak from the turbocharger oil return line. As a result, oil could come into contact with hot components, increasing the risk of fire. The vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 5 December 2018 and 10 January 2019.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinters (906BB50, 906BA35 and 906BB35) manufactured from August to October 2018 may have a defect in the automatic transmission which may block the changing of gears. As a result, the vehicle may roll away or inadvertently accelerate, increasing the risk of an accident.
