Recall Article: Fire Hazard

Two questions: 1) has anyone received a letter from MB for this issue? 2) has anyone discussed this with their dealer?

See article from CNN Business: https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/05/busin...3IRehAvrAxHMyg

Thanks.

This issue is posted across the forums already but hopefully you are not affected, the key things to note would be:
1. Only affecting diesels, mainly OM654 or OM656 produced between January 2017 to October 2021.
2. MBUSA vehicles are not affected by the recall.

For us affected, fire hazard due to leaking water pump? Anyone know how this even possible? Electricity involved?

Very little information about the issue. The coolant pump is volume controlled by an electronic actuator that controls vacuum and vacuum controls the coolant pump. The explanation was that coolant leaks to the vacuum and may cause fire.

Does not make it any more sensible to me.
