Mercedes-Benz C-class

The problem

Ground-cable bolts may not have been tightened with sufficient torque. This can lead the wiring harness not to be properly secured and result in an increase of the connection's electrical resistance. The temperature can rise in this area, increasing the 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.
