The oil supply to the drive shaft bearing in the rear axle differential may be inadequate, which could lead to that the car suddenly loses speed, creating a risk of an accident.
Moreover, the rear wheels may lock, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and/or transmission oil may leak or vehicle parts may fall onto the road, endangering other road users.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class vehicles affected by this recall were equipped with 6-cylinder diesel engine and manufactured between 26 February 2007 and 6 February 2023.
