What is this? A small rubber seal inside some Mercedes-Benz cars may not be fitted correctly. This seal keeps water out of the gearbox plug.

Does this affect me? Owners of certain E-Class, CLS, or AMG GT cars in Europe may be at risk.
What should I do? Take your car to a Mercedes-Benz dealer right away. Ask your dealer or a mechanic to check and fix the seal.
