The oil feed line to the turbocharger may leak oil onto hot engine or exhaust components and start a fire.
The automaker opened an investigation in September 2019 after three complaints from outside the U.S. where owners reported oil leaks. Mercedes collected the affected parts and discovered possible problems with the oil feed line material.
More complaints arrived and the supplier determined the line material was defective due to problems that occurred during specific production periods.
The Mercedes-Benz oil feed line recall is expected to begin March 27, 2020, when dealerships will replace the oil feed lines to the turbochargers.
