NHTSA Recall History
1990 300:
Bolts used for brake-strut support do not meet specification and may break, resulting in deterioration of steering and braking.
1990 300:
Under certain operating conditions, plastic cover of preresistor for auxiliary fan may melt, which could result in underhood fire.
1991-92 400E:
If car is restarted soon after shutoff and charcoal canister is saturated with fuel, fuel vapor may be expelled onto electric-auxiliary radiator-fan preresistor; under certain conditions, that preresistor could become hot enough to ignite the fuel.
1992 w/"ASR" automatic slip control:
Plastic brake-hydraulic hose was misrouted too close to preresistor for auxiliary cooling fan, which becomes hot under certain conditions; could cause hose to melt and leak brake fluid onto hot preresistor, resulting in possible fire.
1992-95 E Class 124:
Front passenger metal footrest can, over time, abrade through wiring harness, causing short circuit; wires might then overheat, engine may stall, or airbag could inadvertently deploy.
