Issue: rnOn 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. rn rnSafety Risk: rnIf the hood opens while driving, it could suddenly block a driver's view. This could increase the risk of a crash. rn rnCorrective Actions: rnMercedes-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.
