Campaign:: 94V004000 on 01/10/1994
Component:: Engine and engine cooling:exhaust system
Manufactured:: 04/30/1991 - 09/30/1992
Affected:: 5,900
Defect:: High ambient engine compartment temperatures are experienced after the vehicle is operated and then parked. if the vehicle is restarted a short time later and the charcoal canister is saturated with fuel, it is possible that fuel vapor may be expelled through the inlet vent line of the canister onto the electric auxiliary radiator fan preresistor.
Consequence:: Under certain operating conditions the electric auxiliary radiator fan preresistor becomes hot enough to ignite the fuel expelled from the charcoal cannister and result in an underhood fire.
Correction:: Dealers will reposition the fuel vapor canister vent line away from the electric fan preresistor. in addition, the preresistor will have a larger heat shield and a fused wiring harness will be installed.
Notes:: System: exhaust/crankcase emission control devices.vehicle description: passenger cars.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and free of charge or the remedy does not correct the defect or noncompliance, please contact mercedes-benz service center at 1-201-573-2616. also, contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at1-800-424-9393.
