Mercedes-Benz G CLASS in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Mercedes-Benz G CLASS is named on 20 British notices and 1 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The British register
- DVSA recall R/2017/322: Mercedes-Benz G Class (Electronic stability program (ESP) may malfunction)
- DVSA recall R/2019/203: Mercedes-Benz G Class (Small cracks may appear in the brake pipes)
- DVSA recall R/2019/372: Mercedes-Benz G Class, AMG GT, C-Class and 3 more (Certain front seat belt buckles may not have been manufactured acco...)
The European register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, fuel line quick connectors - located under the vehicle away from the engine compartment - may not have been connected properly during vehicle assembly. A partial dislocation of the quick connector could cause a fuel leak. Fuel leakage could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the connection of the fuel line quick connectors and install a new retaining clamp.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2009337.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Mercedes-Benz: 477 in the register, and 368 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2009.
