What is wrong
On certain vans, the upper hood latch may not be properly installed. Under some driving conditions, this could allow the hood to open suddenly while driving.
Why it matters
If the hood opens while driving, it could suddenly block a driver's view. This could increase the risk of a crash.
What the dealer will do
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their van to a dealer to inspect, and if necessary, tighten the mounting screws for the upper hood latch. Any missing screws will be replaced.
