NHTSA recall 06V220000
Electrical System · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, under hard operating conditions, the engine compartment temperature can increase to a level which exceeds the design parameters for the alternator to not function and it will become damaged.
Why it matters: This will create the potential for an engine compartment fire.
The fix: Dealers will improve the engine compartment and alternator cooling, install a modified control unit and a new alternator free of charge. The recall began on June 23, 2006.
