Mercedes-Benz To be remember 143.551 new car and SUV to solve a Fuel pump problem. The propeller – the part that does the heavy lifting of moving fuel out of the tank and into your engine – can degrade or fail, resulting in poor or non-existent fuel delivery and potentially ability to force the vehicle to shut down. Mercedes said the problem arose from poor material quality control for the propeller supplied by one of the company’s sub-suppliers. Not only is this a pretty big campaign in sheer numbers, but it’s also quite a broad one. If you own a rear-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz made for the 2021-2023 models, congratulations!

In some cases, this can lead to fuel pump shutdown. vehicle may lose thrust, which may increase the risk of collision or injury.”

Mercedes says performance degradation can occur before the pump fails completely and a malfunction message will be displayed on the instrument cluster if adequate fuel is not supplied to the engine. Once the degradation reaches that point, the engine’s performance will likely be markedly affected.
