Vehicles Affected: Approximately 800 model-year 2014 Mercedes-Benz E350 and E350 4Matic luxury sedans manufactured between June 4, 2014, and July 9, 2014

The Problem: The fuel feed line has a single flare fitting instead of a double flare fitting, so the connection between the fuel hose and the fuel feed line could develop a leak or completely disconnect; this could result in a fire in the presence of an ignition source or a crash if the vehicle were to stall.

The Fix: Dealers will install the correct fuel line for free.

What Owners Should Do: Mercedes will begin notifying owners in early January. Owners can call the automaker at 800-367-6372, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
