AUGUST 2010 --
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain model
year 2002-2010 G-Class vehicles for failing
to comply with the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108,
"'Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated
Equipment." These vehicles are equipped with
a grill cover for front turn signal
protection that, while permissible, may
impact over time the signal's ability to
meet the minimum requirements of FMVSS 108.
The signal light's visibility to other
motorists may be reduced over time,
increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will
install improved turn light units optimized
for usage with grills. This service will be
performed free of charge. The safety recall
is expected to begin during November 2010.

AUGUST 2010 --
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain model
year 2002-2009 G-Class vehicles for failing
to comply with the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108,
"Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated
Equipment." The headlamps of the affected
vehicles are equipped with a protective
grill that is not permissible under FMVSS
No. 108. The vehicles fail to meet the
requirements of the standard. Dealers will
remove the headlamp grills free of charge.
The safety recall is expected to begin on or
before November 30, 2010.
10V-368
NOVEMBER 2009 -- Mercedes-Benz is
recalling model year 2009 550 G-Class
vehicles. The fuel line quick connectors
located under the vehicle away from the
engine compartment may not have been
connected properly on the assembly line and
completely seated in the connection. In case
of a frontal crash, the fuel pump would no
longer function but a partial dislocation of
the line could lead to a potential for fuel
loss from the line at the quick connector.
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition
source, could result in a fire. Dealers will
check the connection of the fuel line quick
connectors and install a new clamp to assure
the quick connectors secure connection. The
remedy will be performed free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to begin during
January 2010. 09V-453
