Known issues on the 1998 C43 AMG. Against the 1998 C-Class line, NHTSA logged a recall of certain vehicles equipped with Hoppecke batteries, issued because the service schedule could allow electrolyte to run low, accelerating wear inside the battery and raising the chance of an internal rupture, sparks or an explosion; dealers inspected the batteries and replaced some. Two owner complaints against the 1998 C-Class line concern a child seat and the suspension. The manual's charging system, battery and suspension procedures, with torque values and wiring diagrams, cover the related work.
