Check for Installation of Spacer Between Brake and Fuel Line, Install if Necessary
This Service Campaign has been initiated because Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles has determined that the spacer
between the brake line and fuel line may not have been installed. Dealers will check for the presence of a spacer, and if missing, install the spacer.
Dealers will also check the brake line for chafe marks from the fuel line and replace the brake line if necessary.
Shown in this bulletin is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Prior to performing this Service Campaign:
^ Please check VMI to determine if the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.
^ Please review the entire Service Campaign bulletin and follow the repair procedure exactly as described.
Please note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
Approximately 63,704 vehicles are affected.
