CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL NUTS AND INSTALL IF NECESSARY
This Recall Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that the accelerator pedal in some M- and R-Class vehicles (see VIN range on
the following page) might not have been fully fastened to its mounting studs. Due to the geometry and tension in the assembly, the mounting studs will
maintain the position of the accelerator pedal on affected vehicles, but may, over time, not maintain a consistent pedal position, which could make it
more difficult to operate the accelerator. All other functions of the vehicle (engine acceleration, deceleration, and braking) will, however, remain fully
functional.
Please review the Effective Serial Number chart.
Included is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
-
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
-
Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin.
Approximately 1570 vehicles are affected.
Effective Serial Number Range
NOTE:
Every vehicle in the VIN range may not be included in the campaign. VMI must always be checked before performing campaigns to verify that the
campaign is required on a specific vehicle. VMI always overrides the bulletin in reference to a specific vehicle's inclusion in a particular campaign.
Please also note that Recall and Service Campaigns do not expire and may also be performed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator.
