Known issues on the 2011 CL550. One recall on the federal record names the 2011 CL550, limited to certain cars built between April 18 and July 12, 2011. A molding flaw in the fuel filter flange could let it crack in high heat, leaking fuel that can catch fire if it meets an ignition source; dealers replaced the fuel filter. Five complaints cite this car, with the power train, the engine and engine cooling, and the engine among the components named, and two of those complaints reported a fire. Fuel filter replacement steps, fuel system torque values and engine diagnostics in the manual correspond to these areas.
