Known issues on the 2006 E350. Owners lodged 397 complaints about the 2006 E350; the fuel and propulsion system accounts for 145, the gasoline fuel system for 80 and the engine for 47. Thirteen complaints reported a crash, 11 an injury and 7 a fire, and one reported at least one death. The sunroof glass is behind the four recalls NHTSA lists for certain 2006 E350 vehicles: the panel could come loose because it was not properly fastened or because its bond to the sliding roof frame weakened, and dealers inspected it and replaced the roof where needed. Against the 2006 E-Class line, NHTSA filed a separate recall for certain vehicles whose software coding, entered during a workshop visit, was wrong and could stop the fuel pump switching off after a crash. Fuel system and roof diagnostics sit alongside procedures, torque values and wiring diagrams.
