Mercedes Benz to recall up to 75000 UK cars over fire risk, Several popular Mercedes models, including the C-Class, E-Class and GLA, are being recalled worldwide.

The affected models, all built between 2015 and 2017, form part of a larger recall which affects over a million cars worldwide.

In documents filed to the US government, it was revealed that repeated attempts to start a car which won't turn over could cause a current limiter in the starter motor to overheat and melt other parts. According to the documents, Mercedes began investigating the problem last June following reports of 'thermally damaged' current limiters.
