Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain passenger vehicles from model classes A, B, C, CLA, CLS, E, GLA, ML, S, and SLK produced between June 24, 2008 and December 10, 2014. The gasket seal on the engine's chain tensioner may not settle correctly, which could cause the chain tensioner to detach from the threaded hole in the cylinder head over time. This detachment can result in significant engine oil leakage that may contaminate roadways and create a hazard for following traffic.
According to the recall notice, affected consumers should contact Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer, as the source does not specify further details about the remedy process or what actions consumers should take beyond that general instruction. The recall was notified by Germany.
