The connection between the fuel filler pipe and the fuel tank may have been improperly welded, allowing a fuel leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin October 1, 2019.
Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at (800) 367-6372.
