MERCEDES-BENZ issued a recall on the E CLASS model

On certain vehicles, the rear seat bench seat frame could damage the wiring harness to the fuel system control unit. If the wiring harness were to become damaged, the fuel pump, the fuel tank pressure sensor and/or the fuel gauge could fail, depending on the affected wire. Should the fuel pump fail, the fuel supply to the engine would stop, causing the vehicle to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will modify the routing of the wiring harness, and repair it if necessary.
