Due to the lack of documentation, there is no confirmation that the screw connections of the turbocharger’s oil-supply and oil-return pipes were correctly executed during the assembly process.
In the event of a loose screw connection, oil might leak at the oil-supply and/or oil-return pipe of the turbocharger.
The leaking oil might then come into contact with hot components, increasing the risk of fire.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS models affected by this recall were equipped with a 4-cylinder petrol engine and manufactured between 5 March 2018 and 18 March 2020.

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Mercedes-Benz dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
