JULY 2008 --
Mercedes-Benz is recalling 404 MY 2006-2008
M-Class, R-Class, MY 2005-2009 SLK-Class, MY
2005-2008 C-Class, MY 2003-2004 and
2006-2008 CLK-Class, MY 2003-2008 E-Class,
MY 2004 and 2008 CL-Class, MY 2008 CLS-Class,
MY 2004 and 2007-2008 S-Class, MY 2003
G-Class, and MY 2003-2004, 2006 and 2009
SL-Class vehicles. A software calibration
number (SCN) coding received on the affected
vehicles during a recent workshop visit was
incorrect. Depending on the model year and
model affected, the results of an incorrect
SCN coding can affect a number of vehicle
safety and emission functions including the
following types of functions: (1) the fuel
gauge readings may be incorrect; (2) a stuck
fuel-level sensor may not be displayed in
the instrument cluster; (3) the OBD system
may cause the check engine light to
illuminate incorrectly; and, (4) the
speedometer may be out of tolerance. In the
event of a vehicle crash, the electrical
fuel pump may not receive a crash signal
that is required for the fuel pump to
disconnect and prevent future fuel delivery
as designed. Dealers will recode the SCN.
The recall is expected to begin during
August 2008. 08V303
