A fire hazard exists in certain Mercedes-Benz A-Class, B-Class, CLA and GLA models with 4-cylinder diesel engines. A missing gasket between the exhaust manifold and turbocharger may allow hot, unfiltered exhaust gases to leak, damaging the cylinder head cover and causing an oil leak. If oil contacts hot engine parts, the vehicle could catch fire.
