Cause Leaves/foreign objects have entered through the water drain grille in the water drain thereby causing an imbalance and noise in the blower wheel. Remedy Remove any leaves/foreign objects from the blower and interior air filter (the blower does NOT need to be replaced). After this, more fine-grained grilles and sealing frames can be used that are better at filtering out leaves / foreign objects. Parts required for retrofitting: Sealing frame (A 247 835 12 00) Sealing frame (A 247 835 11 00) Plug-in mounting (A 000 991 56 04) Housing cover (A 247 830 95 03) Housing cover (A 247 830 63 03) Steps: 1- Remove windshield wiper as per the work instructions AR82.30-P-0001MFA 2- Remove cover for water drain as per the work instructionsAR83.10-P-1411MFB 3- Release threaded connections (5x 10 mm, 2x 8 mm) 4- Fasten released part temporarily using cable tie to hood. 5- Thoroughly clean body between fender and wiper motor then mount the sealing frame (A 247 835 12 00) using the self-adhesive tape. 6- Cut cable tie and insert plastic part again. Then thoroughly clean the area behind the mounted sealing frame. 7- Open plastic cap on firewall then vacuum the filter using a vacuum cleaner. Then tighten the threaded connections again. 8- Finally, insert sealing frame (A 247 835 11 00) and attach to body-in-white using plug-in mounting (A 000 991 56 04) 9 - Clean water drains. 10- Assemble in reverse order. 11- Place housing cover (A 247 830 95 03) and housing cover (A 247 830 63 03) on top of each other.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-11003785-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-11003785-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11003785","components":[{"id":"visibility","name":"Glass, wipers and mirrors","parent":null},{"id":"wiper","name":"Wipers and washers","parent":"visibility"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"MERCEDES-BENZ","model":"AMG GLA 35","year_from":2024,"year_to":2025,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"MERCEDES-BENZ","model":"AMG GLA 45S","year_from":2024,"year_to":2024,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"MERCEDES-BENZ","model":"AMG GLA35","year_from":2017,"year_to":2018,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"MERCEDES-BENZ","model":"AMG GLA35","year_from":2021,"year_to":2023,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"MERCEDES-BENZ","model":"AMG GLA45","year_from":2014,"year_to":2023,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"MERCEDES-BENZ","model":"AMG GLA45 S","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"MERCEDES-BENZ","model":"GLA 250","year_from":2014,"year_to":2025,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
