What are the defects?
The outer section of the front grille air deflectors could detach partially or entirely from the inner section of vehicle. Clips could slowly detach due to the wind loads and additional stresses that arise during operation.
What are the hazards?
If the clips of the front grille air deflectors break, the outer section may completely detach from the vehicle increasing the risk of injury or an accident to other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners are requested to contact an Authorised Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicle Dealership to arrange a time to install a new deflector on both sides of potentially affected vehicles, free of charge.
