On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L TDI diesel engine, the fuel injection lines could crack. Diesel fuel leakage may ignite on a hot engine surface and cause a fire.

Dealers will install vibration dampers on all four fuel injection lines. Additionally, on some vehicles (depending on the date of manufacture) the #2 fuel injection line will be replaced.

On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.6L engine, debris in the cylinder block (from the manufacturing process) could cause connecting rod bearing and crankshaft bearing damage. As a result, abnormal engine performance may be noticed, and in some cases the engine could fail. Engine failure would result in lost vehicle propulsion.

Dealers will replace the engine assembly.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class, GL-Class, M-Class and R-Class (2011)
3,370 units

On certain vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, the fuel filter assembly may develop a leak from the fuel heater o-ring seal. Diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the diesel fuel filter assembly.

Chevrolet Corvette (2011-2012)
218 units

Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 206 - Door Locks and Door Retention Components. Specifically, the rear hatch hinges may not meet the load requirements of the Standard. Should the rear hatch separate from the vehicle during a crash, it could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Dealers will replace the rear hatch hinges.
