Mercedes-Benz affected vehicles have a rubber seal at the back of the engine bay that may temporarily stick to the hood when it is opened and then may fall into the engine bay when the hood is closed.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the body hood. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles have a rubber seal at the back of the engine bay that may temporarily stick to the hood when it is opened and then may fall into the engine bay when the hood is closed.
If the rubber seal falls into the engine compartment, it may contact parts of the exhaust system, increasing the risk of a fire.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will attach four additional retaining clips to the rubber seal, free of charge.
