NHTSA recall information identifies risks involving steering control, a potentially detached panoramic-roof front panel, incorrect emergency-call location, air-bag deployment, and an overheated starting current limiter. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash, occupant injury, delayed emergency response, or fire. Waiting to address an open recall leaves a known safety concern unresolved. Mercedes-Benz of Tampa can check your VIN and explain which remedy applies. If your vehicle shows a warning, you received a notice, or you are uncertain about a prior repair, do not postpone a professional inspection. Recall remedies are designed by the manufacturer and completed at no charge by an authorized dealer.
