CARS.COM

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 800 model-year 2017 Mercedes-Benz E400 4Matic coupes, E400 convertibles, and E550 coupes and convertibles, all manufactured between June 7 and Sept. 8, 2016

The Problem: There may be insufficient clearance between the left catalytic converter and the composite underbody panel, which may cause the panel to melt, increasing the risk of a fire.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the underbody panel, as necessary, for free.

What Owners Should Do: Mercedes-Benz will begin notifying owners this month. 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.
