To Mercedes-Benz USA Customer Care, I am requesting a formal review and written explanation concerning case #24524936 and the approximately $6,000+ starter-wiring repair on my vehicle. Mercedes-Benz’s August 2017 recall notice for campaign 2017080002, NHTSA recall 17V114, states that the starting-current limiter can overheat under specified conditions, potentially causing surrounding components to melt and creating a fire risk. The notice further states that the authorized dealer will install an additional fuse in the electrical line to the starter at no charge. Because my vehicle has experienced burnt starter wiring, I request that Mercedes-Benz provide: 1. Written confirmation of whether my vehicle’s VIN was included in this recall. 2. The date and documentation of any recall remedy performed on my vehicle. 3. The technical findings supporting the determination that my starter-wiring damage is unrelated to the recall. 4. Confirmation of whether the starting-current limiter, additional fuse, and surrounding wiring were inspected. 5. A review of reimbursement eligibility and goodwill assistance for the repair expense. Please escalate this matter for technical review and provide a written response explaining the basis for the denial. If the matter cannot be resolved, I will consider submitting a vehicle-safety complaint to NHTSA. Existing case number: 24524936 Mercedes-Benz recall: 2017080002 NHTSA recall: 17V114
