Recall Alert: 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, 2016 E-Class

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 200 model-year 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class and 2016 E-Class luxury cars, all manufactured between April 16 and April 22, 2015, including the CLS400, CLS400 4Matic, CLS550, CLS550 4Matic and CLS63 AMG 4Matic; and the E350, E350 4Matic, E400, E400 4Matic, E63 S AMG and E63 S AMG 4Matic

The Problem: The integral steel cable that secures the rubber seal to the bulkhead might have been damaged due to the supplier rework of the seal. If the rubber seal is not properly secured around the engine compartment, it is possible for the seal to temporarily stick to the hood when it is opened then fall into the engine compartment when the hood is closed. If the rubber seal contacts hot parts of the engine or exhaust system, it increases the risk of a fire.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the rubber seal in the engine compartment for free.
