Description: Model series: BR 253. Vehicles equipped with an AMG petrol engine and 4MATIC.

Due to defective screw connection, the positive 12V battery cable may come into contact with the starter and be damaged by its movement. Consequently, the damaged positive cable might be in contact with the starter housing, which could lead to a short circuit. As a result, the battery may become discharged in a short period of time, and an intermediary electrical component might be overloaded, leading to immobilisation of the vehicle and to increased the risk of fire.
