- Engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/2006 - 10/30/2007
- Affected:

- Defect:
- On certain passenger vehicles equipped with diesel engines, the crankshaft sensor could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor. this results in an interruption in the electrical connection in the chip housing of the sensor.
- Consequence:

- Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensor. the recall began on february 4, 2008. owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.
