Fuel system Vehicle recall #12V557000 · 2012 · 5,800 vehicles

What's wrong: Due to an irregularity stemming from the molding process of the fuel filter flange, the fuel filter flange May crack when operated in high temperatures.

Why it matters: If the fuel filter flange cracks, it will leak fuel which May lead to a fire if an external ignition source is present.

The fix: Mercedes-benz will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel filter, free of charge. The recall campaign is expected to begin in February 2013.
