About 18,500 of the Mercedes vehicles are recalled in Canada.
According to the automaker, the Hyundam Industrial fuel pumps have problems with the impellers that do not meet specifications. The fuel pump impeller can deform and make contact with the fuel pump housing, shutting down the pump.
The cause of the problem is blamed on a sub-supplier, and a driver may know of a problem if a warning message appears and if the engine is not running normally.
Mercedes and the supplier investigated the problem and collected fuel pumps, finding an "irregularity in individual raw material batches used for the suspect fuel pump impellers, sourced from a sub-supplier."
Mercedes-Benz says it received more than 2,000 fuel pump warranty claims in the U.S. between August 2021 and May 2023.
However, the automaker says it is not aware of any claims of injuries, crashes or deaths worldwide.
Mercedes fuel pump recall letters will be mailed August 25, 2023. But owners may contact Mercedes customer service at 800-367-6372.
