What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2013-2015 E-Class sedans and station wagons, CLS-Class sedans, and E63 models because a rubber seal at the back of the engine bay may stick to the hood when opened and then fall into the engine compartment when the hood is closed. If the seal falls into the engine bay, it could contact parts of the exhaust system and create a fire risk.

MBUSA will notify owners at no cost, and dealers will attach four additional retaining clips to the rubber seal to prevent it from falling. The recall began on March 6, 2015. Owners of affected vehicles should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-201-573-5339 and reference recall number 2015020001 to schedule service at a dealer.
