Mercedes-Benz Metris fuel hoses can leak and catch fire

NHTSA campaign 22V134000 · Reported 2022-03-08 · Daimler Vans USA, LLC

critical How serious is it? About this label

Very serious — a fuel leak can lead to a fire, so if you smell gasoline stop driving and have the van towed; otherwise get it to a dealer right away.

What's wrong, in plain English

On some 2017-2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris vans, the upper and lower fuel hoses may not be attached securely where they connect to the engine. A loose connection can let gasoline leak out. If that leaking fuel reaches something hot or a spark, it can start a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel hose connections and repair them, replacing the clamps and the fuel hose itself if that is needed. Owner letters were mailed May 5, 2022.
