Defect

It has been determined that on Model series ML/GLE GL/GLS (166) & GLE Coupe (292) with ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM (ACS) Oil foam may develop in the systems oil reservoir under dynamic operating conditions and at an oil level below the minimum level and escape via the ventilation bores in the cap of the reservoir. Depending on the orientation of the two ventilation bores the escaping oil could spray onto hot component parts of the exhaust system. In this case risk of fire cannot be ruled out.

Remedy

On affected vehicles replace the oil dipstick of the reservoir for the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM.

Defect

It has been determined that it is possible that the connectors for the transmission oil cooler lines were not pressed together in accordance with specifications. As a result the transmission oil cooler lines could work loose while driving and transmission oil could leak out. Because of a deviation in the supplier�s production process it is possible that the connectors on transmission oil cooler lines from two specific batches were not pressed together in accordance with specifications. In this case the vehicle could possibly lose propulsion due to oil loss in the transmission. The escaping oil could get onto the roadway thus increasing the risk of an accident for following traffic. Also it cannot be excluded that escaping transmission oil could come into contact with hot component parts of the exhaust system and ignite

Remedy

Check the transmission oil cooler lines and replace them if necessary
