An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Mercedes-Benz GLE400d 4MATIC and 8 other models) - Repair. Engine defect (coolant pump). ■ Defective component: Engine (coolant pump). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: Due to an inappropriate bearing seal design in the coolant pump installed in the diesel engine, coolant may enter the vacuum circuit used to control its operation and cause related vacuum circuit components to malfunction. This may cause the engine warning light (MIL) to illuminate, reduce engine output, impair brake booster function, or cause other problems. If the solenoid valve controlling exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) malfunctions, the MIL illuminates and exhaust emissions worsen. If a short circuit also occurs, heat may melt and damage surrounding parts and, in the worst case, cause a fire. Published 2022-02-16.
What to do now
(Recall)外-3347 ■ Remedial measures: On all vehicles, replace the EGR control solenoid valve with a new one and reprogram the engine control unit with a remedial control program. Also inspect the vacuum circuit and replace any related components into which coolant or engine oil has entered with new ones.
