NOVEMBER 2009 --
Mercedes-Benz is
recalling model year 2009 550 G-Class
vehicles. The fuel line quick connectors
located under the vehicle away from the
engine compartment may not have been
connected properly on the assembly line and
completely seated in the connection. In case
of a frontal crash, the fuel pump would no
longer function but a partial dislocation of
the line could lead to a potential for fuel
loss from the line at the quick connector.
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition
source, could result in a fire. Dealers will
check the connection of the fuel line quick
connectors and install a new clamp to assure
the quick connectors secure connection. The
remedy will be performed free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to begin during
January 2010. 09V-453
