1976 Mercedes Benz 450

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission

Consequence of Defect

the plastic bell crank bushing for the pressure control rod of the automatic transmission could deform due to high temperatures in the engine compartment produced by the catalytic converter. this can cause the control rod to dislodge. a dislodged rod may prevent the nearby engine throttle linkage from returning to the idle position.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the dealer will replace the plastic bushing with a metal one at no charge.
