Issue

Issue:
On one vehicle, the quick release fastener for the 12 V battery ground connection may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the ground connection could overheat and melt. This problem could also cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels.

Safety Risk:
A ground connection that overheats and melts could create the risk of a fire. A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Mercedes-Benz will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the quick release fastener.
