Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The problem

The bolts on the terminal clamps of the starter battery may come loose. This could increase the electrical contact resistance, leading to a local temperature increase at the terminal clamp connection point. This creates a risk of fire.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
