  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles inspected under mercedes-benz recall 7891003 (transport canada recall 2019-668) that require a second inspection.

• Recall 2005094 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, the sensotronic brake control (sbc) unit may contain a pump piston which is out of permissible tolerances. Also, vibrations within the electrical connector may cause a loss of electrical continuity. Both conditions may result in the system reverting to hydraulic function mode. A loss of brake power assist would result in increased pedal effort and extended stopping distance. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the sbc pump unit.

Fuel leak at top of sending unit underneath left rear seat. Fuel smell in car. I removed seat and cover and discovered fuel pooling. *tr

Car was smelling of gas on sept 2, 2013. I took it to mike smith mercedes on sept 3, 2013 talked to service rep, he said it may be the fuel pump sending unit. He said it was going to take all day for them to get to it and that it probably would cost several thousand to fix. I then took it to mercedes service, lp in beaumont tx. They found that it was leaking gas tremendously under my back seat. They fixed the problem today sept 4, 2013. This defective fuel system could have killed myself my young 5 year old daughter and wife. I called corporate mercedes and talked to a guy named ted at 800-367-6372 ext 6341. He was not much help. I had to pay out of pocket for this defect and this is something that lexus, toyota which i have also would never have such a issue. *jb

When i filled the fuel tank, the inside of the car smells very strongly of gas fumes. The whole garage smelled strongly of gas fumes and gas was dripping on the floor of the garage. If the hot water heater decided to ignite, it could have caused a fire or explosion. I believe this is a similar issue to nhtsa investigation ea 13-003. The cls class and the e class share the same chassis and fuel tank. If possible, please expand your investigation to include cls class vehicles. *tr

Cls 55, post recall on the fuel sending unit. Have taken my cls into the dealer for other things and advised them that i noticed a fuel smell in the car. They said they could not find anything, so on my way i go. Now a year later, i really notice the fuel smell when i fill up, i parked in the parking garage where i work and when i came out there was a puddle of fuel under the car on the drivers side (car was parked on a sloped garage at possibly 20 degree) and strong odor of fuel in the garage. I called mb and they said that it's not really their problem anymore. Hmmm, well, the recall didn't work, did they re manufacture that part? *tr

My sprinter 2500 diesel van year 2006 just shuts down without any warning. I am driving along on a main street in savannah and the van just shuts down without any warning. It has happened about 8 times since i bought the van. They keep replacing the alternator but that is obviously not the answer. I need help. My husband is totally wheelchair bound and he is in the van. I really need help! *tr

Our vehicle has had numerous problems despite maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty. Specifically we've had a number of warranty defects including: - windshield fluid clogging - sunroof motor repair - door locking mechanism failure - battery/engine failure while driving - cracked keys - radio failure - seat adjustment knob falling off (2x) - center console breakage - rear view mirror dimming problems the most disturbing issue to date was the car recently shutting down power while my husband was driving home on a major freeway. He lost power steering and power brakes and had to maneuver the vehicle off the road on the freeway. *tr
