On the 2015-2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris, the screws that hold the transmission support (carrier) to the body may not have been tightened to specification at assembly. If they loosen or detach, the transmission and propeller shaft shift out of position. Beyond a certain angle the driveshaft flex discs (joint discs) are damaged and can fail completely, cutting power to the rear wheels. The campaign covers about 7,433 vans built between March 31, 2015 and May 11, 2017.

Common Symptoms

  • Driveline vibration that grows with speed
  • Rattling noise from under the van
  • Cracked driveshaft flex disc (guibo)
  • Loss of drive to the rear wheels

How to Fix

Have Mercedes-Benz confirm VIN status for recall 18V335 and carry out the required transmission-carrier bolt check and replacement as needed. Tell the dealer about any rattling or vibration, and have the carrier, shaft alignment and joint discs inspected for consequential damage. Do not drive with significant vibration, loose support hardware or visible disc damage; arrange recovery. Confirm how any resulting damage is covered rather than assuming the recall excludes it.
