Mercedes-Benz is recalling 16,195 C-Classes built between 2021 and 2022 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the measure is a length of the transmission line set that does not correspond to the specification, which can lead to chafing on the drive shaft. Damage to this can lead to loss of drive.
On the affected vehicles, the routing of the wiring harness is checked in the workshop and reworked if necessary. The KBA is investigating the matter under reference number “012959” and the manufacturer’s internal code is “5491316“.
