Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2015-2017 model year vehicles including C-Class, CLA-Class, E-Class, GLA-Class, and GLC-Class models due to a potential fire risk. The starting current limiter in these vehicles may overheat if the engine or transmission cannot turn over and the starter motor makes repeated starting attempts. If this occurs, surrounding electrical components can melt, posing a fire hazard.
To remedy this issue, Mercedes-Benz dealers will install an additional fuse in the electrical line to the starter at no cost to owners. Affected owners should contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 to arrange the service. The recall number is 2017080002, and the remedy program began August 31, 2017.
