Quick answer

In our continuing efforts to enhance the satisfaction of our customers, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) has decided to extend the warranty for certain fuel tank components in certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Specifically, the warranty on the fuel tank, fuel filter/sender, fuel pump, and related gaskets (collectively the "Covered Fuel Tank Components") for gasoline-fueled, non-PZEV certified Model Year 2003 2009 E-Class and 2006 2011 CLS- Class vehicles will be extended from the original 4 years / 50,000 miles (whichever occurs first) to 15 years, regardless of mileage. This warranty extension applies to covered vehicles regardless of ownership. If during this period your vehicle experiences a leakage from any of the "Covered Fuel Tank Components" described above and it is determined that it is due to a warrantable condition that would have been covered had it occurred during the original warranty period, this warranty extension will cover the necessary part(s) and labor to repair or replace the component(s). It is important that any repairs made under this warranty extension are performed by an authorized Mercedes- Benz dealership. This warranty extension does not cover any other components in the fuel system or otherwise extend any other warranty coverage on the vehicle. Standard warranty terms and exclusions apply to all other components.

What this bulletin may mean before buying

Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.
