German automaker Mercedes-Benz has recalled more than 147,000 station wagons and mid-sized cars due to a fire hazard. Mercedes-Benz announced the recall of about 147,224 CLS-class and E-class vehicles, made between 2013 and 2015, in the United States. A recall notice of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that affected cars have a rubber lining at the back of the engine bay, which may temporarily get stuck to the top when it is opened. The rubber seal may fall into the engine when the hood is closed and cause a fire. The affected Mercedes-Benz cars are 2013 to 2015 models of E400 Hybrid, E350, E63 AMG, CLS63 AMG and CLS550. The 2013 and 2014 models of E550 and the 2015 model of E400 (non-hybrid) and CLS400 are also affected due to the recent recall. The automaker revealed that the E-class convertibles and coupes are not affected. Read more http://www.techtimes.com/articles/3...class-cls-class-vehicles-due-to-fire-risk.htm
