The short version

Two engine oil plugs may not withstand high engine loads while driving, possibly resulting in an engine oil leak.
An engine oil leak can spill on to the road and cause slippery road conditions. Additionally, if the engine runs out of oil it can cause an engine stall while driving.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the engine oil plugs by adding a retaining plate, free of charge.
