What NHTSA recorded

On certain sport utility vehicles, the fuel return hose between fuel tank and return line can be permeated with fuel. This situation results from the expansion and contraction of the hose under pressure causing microcracks in the hose material.

Possible consequence

These microcracks may cause fuel leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace all fuel return hoses with the appropriate hoses free of charge. The recall began on september 27, 2005. Owners may contact mercedes benz at 1-800-367-6372.
