Mercedes-Benz integrated backup battery compartment located underneath the front passenger's seat may not have its own cover, potentially exposing the battery when the seat is moved forward.
The short version
Daimler Vans USA, LLC reported a problem with the electrical system 12v/24v/48v battery. Here is what owners need to know.
The integrated backup battery compartment located underneath the front passenger's seat may not have its own cover, potentially exposing the battery when the seat is moved forward.
If conductive material, such as metal, unintentionally drops into the opening and contacts the terminals on the battery, an electrical short can occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
DVUSA will notify owners, and Mercedes-Benz dealers will install covers over the battery compartment area, free of charge.
