Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2015 and 2016 model year vehicles including the E-Class and CLS-Class models manufactured between April 16, 2015, and April 22, 2015. The recall affects vehicles where a rubber seal in the engine compartment may not be properly secured due to damage to the steel cable that holds it in place. If the seal becomes loose, it could temporarily stick to the hood when opened and then fall into the engine bay when the hood closes.
If the rubber seal falls into the engine compartment, it may contact engine or exhaust system parts, creating a fire risk. Mercedes-Benz USA will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the rubber seal free of charge. Affected owners can contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-201-573-5339 for more information about the recall, which began on September 2, 2015.
