Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 7 specific vehicles, including certain 2023 GLC300 and 2024 GLE350 and GLE450 models equipped with an M254 engine. These vehicles may have been manufactured with incorrect screws on the high-pressure fuel pump, which can prevent a proper seal from forming. This defect can cause fuel and oil to leak out of the engine, potentially causing a hazard on the road or a fire. Dealers will replace the high-pressure fuel pump on affected vehicles free of charge.
An inadequate seal can allow fuel and oil to leak onto the road surface, creating a slippery hazard for other motorists and increasing the crash risk. Additionally, if fuel or oil leaks onto hot engine components, it can ignite and cause a vehicle fire.
Free replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump.
