Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz recalled more than 147,000 midsize sedans and station wagons after authorities alerted that a rubber seal on models made between 2013 and 2015 could fall into the exhaust system and cause an engine fire.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration put out the alert on the recall, Reuters reported.
Among the recalls are CLS-class sedan models and the E-class sedan and wagon. Mercedes announced the repairs will begin in mid-March.
Just a few days ago, the car maker recalled another 149,000 of CLS-class and E-class vehicles in Europe and China for similar reasons.
