Daimler reportedly said the voltage regulator in the alternator is being checked and, if necessary, replaced on vehicles with six-and eight-cylinder petrol engines built between June 2001 and November 2004.
According to Reuters, new battery-control software is to be installed on E-class and CLS-class models made from January 2002 to January 2005, while the braking systems on current E-class, SL-class and CLS-class models made since June 2001 will also be updated.
