Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled 326 examples of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class, citing a manufacturing fault that resulted in the vehicle’s transmission either being overfilled or underfilled with oil.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: “Incorrect levels of transmission oil could result in the vehicle stalling. If the oil level is too high, oil may leak and cause a fire. These hazards increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
The total figure of 326 affected vehicles covers 324 examples of 2019 Mercedes-Benz A200 sedans, and two 2019 Mercedes-Benz A180 sedans – with hatchback variants unaffected by the recall.
