Mercedes-Benz has extended a recall from earlier this week to cover its Vito van.

Like the C 200d recalled previously, Benz says the Vito’s high pressure fuel line may not have been manufactured to specification.

Should this be the case, this fuel line could develop a leak, spilling diesel onto the road and causing a potential hazard for the vehicle occupants and other road users.

A total of 134 Vitos are on the recall list, sold in Australia between July 2014 and March 2016.

Selected Vitos were also recalled in July of this year, due to a potential problem with the brake fluid reservoir. 

The reservoir may not have been secured properly during manufacturing. Movement over time may allow brake fluid to leak.

Mercedes-Benz will attempt to contact affected owners shortly, but any owner wishing to learn more about the latest round of recalls should contact their local dealer.
