2011 Mercedes-Benz E & 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL + 2 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Mercedes benz is recalling certain model year 2011 m-class, model W164, gl-class, model X164, e-class, model W212, r-class, and model V251VEHICLES. The o-ring may not have been properly lubricated in all cases. Lack of lubrication CAN lead to leakage of the fuel filter.
