Issue ID	1637903

Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES-BENZ
Model	CLA250
Model Year	2012
File date	20/01/20

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The cam shaft intake and exhaust adjusters need to be replaced at 77k mi, this is a $5k repair. I initially replaced the cam shaft position senors at 65k mi and the vehicle has been regularly serviced. Consistent with reports across the country this cam shaft component will fail around 50k-80k miles and at that point the repair is 2/3 the value of the car if it was in good working order. No engine should give out after 75k miles, this component needs to be recalled.
