Mercedes-Benz is recalling as many as 9,004 diesel-powered M-Class, GL-Class, R-Class and E-Class vehicles for possible crankshaft sensor problems.
The M-Class, GL-Class and R-Class are produced at the German automaker’s Vance assembly plant.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the problem could cause the vehicle to lose power. In addition, the vehicle cannot be restarted after the failure of the electrical connection in the sensor, increasing the possibility of a crash, the agency said on its Web site, www.nhtsa.gov.
The recall, which is expected to begin in February, covers 2007 models. Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensor. Affected models include the E211, GLX164, M164 and R251.
