Mercedes Benz S 2008

• Recall 77365 [USA]: In the event of a vehicle crash, the electrical fuel pump may not receive a crash signal that is required for the fuel pump to disconnect and prevent future fuel delivery as designed.
  Mercedes-benz is recalling my 2006-2008 m-class, r-class, my 2005-2009 slk-class, my 2005-2008 c-class, my 2003-2004 and 2006-2008 clk-class, my 2003-2008 e-class, my 2004 and 2008 cl-class, my 2008 cls-class, my 2004 and 2007-2008 s-class, my 2003 g-class, and my 2003-2004, 2006 and 2009 sl-class vehicles. A software calibration number (scn) coding received on the affected vehicles during a recent workshop visit was incorrect. Depending on the model year and model affected, the results of an incorrect scn coding can affect a number of vehicle safety and emission functions including the following types of functions: (1) the fuel gauge readings may be incorrect; (2) a stuck fuel-level sensor may not be displayed in the instrument cluster; (3) the obd system may cause the check engine light to illuminate incorrectly; and, (4) the speedometer may be out of tolerance.
  dealers will recode the scn free of charge. The recall began on august 30, 2008. Owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.

• Recall 75217 [USA]: The presence of this moisture in combination with the thermal stress during the "reflow soldering" may damage the transistors and prevent them from properly functioning which will increase the risk of crash.
  Mercedes-benz is recalling 3,283 my 2008 s-class and cl-class passenger vehicles. A malfunction may occur on the signal acquisition and actuation module-front (sam-f) transistors. The sam-f is a double transistor that helps control vehicle functions and the lighting of the center console. Incorrect storage of the transistors led the transistors to be exposed to excess humidity.
  dealers will inspect and replace all potentially affected sam free of charge. The recall began on may 2, 2008. Owner may contact mercedes benz at 1-800-367-6372.

• Recall R/2017/124 [UK]: Faulty control unit may cause vehicle to perform outside specification
  Where a control unit coding was updated in a workshop between 3 december 2016 and 5 december 2016 the coding may not correspond to the specification and may trigger unplanned action in the vehicle. The safety and emissions systems may not react as design intent.
  recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software in the corresponding control units.

• Recall 2008089 [Canada]: Electrical
  Certain vehicles may have been assembled with an improperly manufactured signal acquisition and actuation module (sam-f). This could interrupt electrical supply to, and impede the functioning of, the wiper system, steering wheel adjustment, headlamp and turn signal operation. Loss of wiper function could hamper the driver's visibility, while a loss of headlamp illumination would render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians, as well as affecting the driver's visibility during hours of darkness, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash, causing property damage and/or personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will replace the sam-f module.

• Recall 2008242 [Canada]: Other
  Certain vehicles may have been programmed with incorrect software calibration data during the manufacturing process. This could affect various functions such as: the electric fuel pump may not receive a signal which, in case of a crash, may prevent the fuel pump from disconnecting as designed; the maximum speed limiter may not be activated; the fuel gauge readings may be incorrect; a stuck fuel-level sensor may not be displayed in the instrument cluster; the speedometer may be out of tolerance which, as a result, may indicate inaccurate vehicle speed; the on-board diagnostic (obd) system may reduce the emission level applicable to the vehicle, causing the check engine light to illuminate incorrectly. Correction: dealers will reprogram the electronic control module.
