LONDON: Daimler AG is recalling almost 300,000 cars from Mercedes-Benz worldwide because of fire hazards.
The news, first reported by German blogsite kfz-rueckrufe.de, was confirmed by Daimler spokesman Joerg Howe.
Certain E-Class and CLS models, all of them diesel cars built between 2015 and 2019, have been affected, said Howe.
Of the 298,000 vehicles affected worldwide, a good 105,000 are on the road in Germany, the blogsite reported citing Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority.
