Hazard: The air-conditioning system's condensed-water drainage hose may be blocked, which may cause water to enter into the vehicle's interior. Consequently, any electrical components installed there could be corroded and/or subjected to short circuits or leakage currents. As a result, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) control unit could stop working, the vehicle may fail to start, the engine emergency run could be activated while the vehicle is in motion, and the functioning of other components (e.g. the fuel pump, automatic/manual emergency call) could be adversely affected. This would increase the risk of injury and accident.

What is this? Some Mercedes-Benz cars (A-Class and B-Class) may have a blocked drain hose in the air-conditioning system. Water can then leak inside the car.
What's happening? Water may damage electrical parts under the dashboard. This could stop safety systems from working or cause the engine to act strangely.
Does this affect me? Owners in Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, or Slovakia should check their car.
What should I do? Take your car to a Mercedes-Benz dealer. Ask your dealer to fix the blocked hose right away.
