Mercedes-Benz cable duct may drop out of place due to unlatched engagement hooks inside the battery case.
The short version
Daimler Vans USA, LLC reported a problem with the electrical system wiring. Here is what owners need to know.
A cable duct may drop out of place due to unlatched engagement hooks inside the battery case. This may cause the starter-generator wiring harness to chafe against the transmission carrier, which could result in an electrical short-circuit.
An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the engagement hooks on the affected cable duct with expanding rivets, free of charge.
