On certain GL350, ML350 and R350 BlueTEC vehicles, the diesel fuel filter may have an O-ring that was not properly lubricated during assembly, which could lead to a diesel fuel leakage. As a result, diesel fuel may be deposited on the road and create a risk a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel filter.
