October 1999

This is in regard to NHTSA id #10033607, also mercedes benz service campaign #2009100002 dated jan 2010, for model 163. My vehicle isn't covered by above mercedes service campaign because it's v-6 model, but showing exactly the same safety problem. I've taken and attached a few photos of the problem area showing severe damage to fuel line and less so to brake line. The photos showing severe chafing between fuel line & brake line just below master cylinder.
