Recently, Mercedes-Benz (China) decided to recall vehicles that might be given incorrect software calibration number (SCN) coding in recent visit to workshops. The error could cause various problems in different automobile models. It might disable fuel pump's reaction to auto crash, when it was designed to cut off fuel supply. Other problems include ineffective speed limit and fuel meter mistakes.

The recall involves 22 vehicles in China, said the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China.

The incorrect coding is caused by a temporary error of central system, which sent incorrect codes to part of online applications. The recalled vehicles would be renewed with correct codes.
