NHTSA recall 17V247000
Electrical System, Engine · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Mercedes-benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling one 2013 r320 4matic cdi vehicle equipped with a six-cylinder diesel engine. In the event of a crash where the primary communication pathway between the air bag control unit and the engine control unit is damaged, the supplementary communication pathway may not shut off the engine or fuel pump.
Why it matters: If the engine and fuel pump after not shut off after a crash, there would be an increased risk of a fire.
The fix: Mbusa will notify the owner, and a dealer will update the engine control unit with new software, free of charge. The recall began by early June 2017.
