Mercedes-Benz C-Class recalled due to vehicle fire risk

AutoExec Summary
Mercedes-Benz Australia is recalling 88 C-Class vehicles due to an electrical fault that could lead to a vehicle fire. A manufacturing issue with a retaining screw connecting the electrical wiring to the fuse box in the front passenger footwell may cause a loss of propulsion while driving and increase electrical resistance, potentially resulting in a fire. This poses a risk of accidents causing harm to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders, and property damage. The affected vehicles, built between 2021 and 2022, can be identified by the attached Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list. Owners should contact a Mercedes-Benz retailer for free repairs or call the customer assistance center at 1300 762 718.
