Mercedes-Benz bulkhead that separates the engine compartment from the passenger compartment may not have been properly sealed, causing water to drain into the passenger compartment.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC reported a problem with the structure frame and members. Here is what owners need to know.
The bulkhead that separates the engine compartment from the passenger compartment may not have been properly sealed, causing water to drain into the passenger compartment. Water intrusion into the foot wells may cause corrosion and/or short circuits to electrical components, disabling safety features, including seat belt tightening and seat adjustments (PreSafe system).
Disabled safety features, including seat belt tightening and seat adjustments, can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
