Risk of fire with some 2017-2022 all-wheel drive Mercedes models

Mercedes-Benz-4matic-fire-kba

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 57,988 E-Class, E-Class Coupé/Cabriolet, AMG GT 4-Door Coupé with all-wheel drive manufactured between 2017 and 2022 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that the gearbox wiring harness has not been laid correctly, which can lead to water ingress and consequently to an increased risk of fire.

In an authorised workshop, the two-part cable set (including the plug connection) is replaced by a new one-part version.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “13997R“. The internal manufacturer code is “1595003, 1595004“.

What the owner should do?

If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.

If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
