* Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz has told customers about a
technical defect in some of its cars that could spark a fire, but
that the parts needed to fix the problem weren't available, Reuters
reported, citing a report by Germany's Bild newspaper, which
published a copy of a letter it said was sent to Mercedes-Benz
owners.
* Daimler confirmed the letter was authentic and said a recall
would follow when the components needed were available, Reuters
said. "In the meantime the affected vehicle should be driven in a
particularly prudent manner and usage reduced to the bare minimum,"
the letter said, according to Reuters.
