– Mercedes-Benz Warns 800,000 Customers Of Fire Risk, Says Part Shortage Will Delay Fix:
German newspaper Bild reports Mercedes-Benz has notified owners of its luxury automobiles that a defective coolant pump could spark a fire, adding an immediate recall wasn’t possible because snarled supply chains have made the parts unavailable.
Bild reviewed the letter sent to 800,000 Mercedes-Benz customers owners affected by the defect that said: “the risk of a fire could not be ruled out.”
The letter explained the parts to fix the defect aren’t available because of supply chain issues. It said a recall was not possible until the components could be procured.
