Mercedes Recalls

Mercedes-Benz USA recently announced over 100,000 recalls related to the passenger front airbag inflator issue. The vehicles are equipped with airbag inflators assembled as part of the passenger front airbag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front airbags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

The recall includes model year 2012 C300 4Matic, C250, C350, , C63 AMG,  E350 E550 Cabrio, E550 Coupe, GLK350 and SLS AMG. Also included are 2009 C300 4Matic, C300, C350 and C63 AMG amd 2008 C300 4Matic, C300, and C350.

Additional recalls include:

-Nearly 48,000 SUVs in the U.S. to fix a sensor problem that could stop the front passenger air bag from inflating in a crash. The recall covers certain GL, GLE and GLS models from the 2016 and 2017 model years. Mercedes says in documents posted by U.S. safety regulators that a sensor in the front passenger seat may be calibrated incorrectly. It can classify passengers as child seats and deactivate the air bag.

-Nearly 1,000 2016-2017 S550 Coupe 4MATICs, S63 AMG Coupe 4MATICs, S65 AMG Coupes and S63 AMG Convertible 4Matics for faulty headlights. The low beam headlights on the affected vehicles may not be adjusted properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. If the low-beam headlights are out of adjustment, the driver's visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
