Mercedes-Benz · Vito, V-Class

The coolant pump, which is controlled via vacuum, may have a leak between the coolant and vacuum circuits so the coolant may enter the vacuum circuit. If the electric switchover valves are exposed to coolant, due to an electrochemical reaction, this can lead to a continuous increase in the temperature of the component part, which could cause fire. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technicalunits intended for such vehicles.
