My car was built in 1992 so most of the components are date marked 1991.
Most of this wiring loom hugs the engine. And yes it could cause a fire for sure but the only issue I had was a flaky oil gauge. It would work fine initially but when the car was fully warmed up the needle would start to dance up and down. The rest of the wiring throughout the car is fine and as mentioned before I changed the upper main engine harness soon after I bought the car. FWIW: There was a court case started by North American customers vs MB about this issue with the early 90s cars however as far as I know it never went anywhere.
Here's another pic of what I'm dealing with. Note the silver plated pins to the left. These simply slid out once I had cut the plug open.
