Defect, as DVSA words it

Mercedes-Benz AG has determined that on certain GLE (167 platform) vehicles with OM654 and hybrid drive a heat shield in the firewall area might not be installed according to specification.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

As a remedy Mercedes-Benz AG via its Mercedes-Benz service partners will check the heat shield and the fuel line on the affected vehicles and rework it if necessary.
