Reason for the recall:

The oil-supply pipe on the turbocharger may leak.

As a result, engine oil could leak onto the under-body paneling and from there onto the road, posing a risk to the following traffic.

Moreover, leaking engine oil might come into contact with hot components in the engine compartment, increasing the risk of fire.

The Mercedes-Benz GLB affected by this recall were manufactured between 17 August 2019 and 6 July 2020.

Vehicles with a 4-cylinder M282 petrol engine, model series: A-Class (BR 177), B-Class/GLA/GLB (BR 247), and CLA (BR 118)

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

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.
