There was a recall on a tail lamp on the mercedes slk 230. Prior to the recall my tail lamp caught fire and melted the entire tail lamp assembly. Water got in to the tail lamp and leaked to the wiring of the erp pump below the tail lamp in the trunk. Wires shorted as a result and erp pump now needs replacing. Mercedes will not replace the damage caused by the faulty tail lamp that caught fire prior to the recall. Have been informed that the corrosion now in the wiring of the erp pump could spark and ignite the fuel tank also located directly below the wiring.
