Issue ID	1695472
Internal NHTSA #	11362961
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	E550
Model Year	2010
File date	27/08/20
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At 80mph, the front driveshaft u-joint failed, which caused a loss of power and a loud clunking sound. Vehicle would not move on its own power. Teardown showed a completely destroyed front driveshaft u-joint, damage to heat shielding, damage to oxygen sensors, damage to the catalytic converter, along with superficial damage to the bellhousing and missing brackets. Failure is suspected to the geometry of the front driveshaft, which connects at an angle from the transfer case to the front differential on 4matic-equipped vehicles. This introduces additional stress to the u-joint, making it prone to failure.
