Recall Alert: 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL550

Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall for 352 GL550 vehicles from the 2009 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall is due to the fuel line quick connectors, which may not have been connected properly on the assembly line. If they become dislodged during a crash, the fuel pump would no longer work, and the line at the quick connector could leak fuel. In a worst case scenario, this could result in a fire.

Dealers will inspect the connection of the fuel line quick connectors and install a new clamp to make sure the connectors are secured. Any fix will be free of charge. Owners may contact Mercedes-Benz at 800-367-6372 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
