DaimlerChrystler recalls 23,677 luxury cars
DiamlerChrystler, the German automaker, is recalling 23,677 luxury cars because of defects. The recall includes Mercedes-Benz S-Class sold in mainland China from October 1998 through March 2005.
The recall covers 23,677 S-Class models built between October 1998 to March 2005, spokesman Frank Bracke told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday from company headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.
The refrigerator is built into the back seat to keep drinks chilled, but abuts the fuel tank and could cause fissures in the tank to develop, Bracke said
He said there have been no injuries reported and there is no threat of explosion or fuel seepage. However, welds on the tank could wear down, resulting in the release of gas fumes and causing knocking sounds, Bracke said.
The recalling of vehicles seems to be a growing trend by DaimlerChrystler; DaimlerChyrstler recalled over 1.3 million cars last year because of quality problems.
