BEIJING, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Mercedes-Benz China has
decided to recall vehicles that might be given incorrect software calibration
number (SCN) coding in recent visit to workshops.
The error could cause various problems in different
automobile models. It might disable fuel pump's reaction to car crash, when it
was designed to cut off fuel supply. Other problems include ineffective speed
limit and fuel meter mistakes.
The recall involves 22 vehicles in China, including
R-Class, SLK-Class, GL-Class, C-Class, CLS-Class and S-Class ones, said the
General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of
China on Friday.
The incorrect coding is caused by a temporary error
of central system, which sent incorrect codes to part of online applications
from April 15 to 17 and June 5 to 10. The recalled cars would be renewed with
correct codes.
