5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies three potential safety concerns associated with this model year. A Communication Software fault may send an inaccurate emergency-call location, which could delay responders and increase injury risk. A Front Suspension issue may allow oil to leak, and contact with an ignition source could increase the risk of fire. A Child Seat issue may prevent proper use of lower anchors, leaving a child restraint insufficiently secured in a crash. Waiting leaves uncertainty unresolved. A free VIN check can show whether a remedy remains open, and prompt recall service helps restore the safety function intended by Mercedes-Benz.
