Mercedes-Benz C Class: Engine
Affects Mercedes-Benz C Class · 1994 — about 255 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain C220 vehicles, the cruise control linkage may not have been sufficiently lubricated and could bind, thereby not allowing the throttle to return to its fully closed position. A stuck throttle could result in loss of vehicle control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Cruise control linkage will be replaced with a sealed and lubricated-for-life linkage.
