About 75,000 Mercedes cars in the Great Britain might be
affected by a global recall of many models following reports of fires.
An issue with some starter parts in cars made between 2015
and 2017 is assumed to cause them to overheat. The fire risk has prompted
Mercedes-owner Daimler to recall around 1m vehicles worldwide, covering certain
A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, E-Class and CLA cars and GLA and GLC SUVs.
There are reports of 51 fires, with about 30 in the US.
No injuries or deaths have been reported yet and it's not
yet known if any of the fires occurred in the UK.

Daimler said the starting current limiter could overload
under “unique” conditions where a driver repeatedly tries to start their car
when the engine has seized up.
The recall has not yet been issued in the UK however a
Mercedes spokesperson told dealer magazine: “There are probably 75,000 cars in
the UK which will be affected by the recall.”
The magazine said owners would be contacted in March.
