What can go wrong

Mercedes-Benz AG has determined that on certain GLE/GLS (167 platform) C-Class (205 platform) E-Class (213 platform) S-Class (223 platform) GLC (253 platform) and CLS (257 platform) vehicles with diesel engine the vacuum‑controlled coolant pump might exhibit a leakage between the vacuum system and the coolant circuit.

The fix

As a remedy Mercedes-Benz AG via its Mercedes-Benz service partners will update the software of the coolant pump and replace the electrical switch valve on the affected vehicles.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
