MERCEDES BENZ announced a problem with the AXOR C affecting a total of 8,984 vehicles.
Bearing damage to the fan clutch may occur due to overheating. Analyses have shown that the bearings exhibit variation in the amount of bearing play. The insufficient bearing play with bearing grease that does not correspond to the requirements, can result in the ball bearing overheating, whereby scorching damage as well as a fire cannot be completely ruled out. Vehicles built from 1/1/2002 to 12/11/2010 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Checking of the electromagnetic fan clutch as a precautionary measure and replacement of the ball bearing if necessary.
Vehicles with the following identification numbers are affected:
