What is wrong

On certain vehicles, moisture could enter the driver-side door lock microswitch and cause it to corrode. As a result, the microswitch may fail to automatically engage the parking brake and/or the auto park feature when the door is opened. If this happens, the vehicle could roll away. Note: This problem could also cause the radio and/or interior lights to remain on after exiting the vehicle.

Why it matters

A parked vehicle that rolls away could create the risk of an injury or a crash.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you should always use the parking brake when you park. Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver-side door lock.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the central display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.

Why it matters

What the dealer will do

Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front wheel wells may not be properly sealed. As a result, water can enter the vehicle and cause damage to the electronics. If this happens, the electronics may not work properly, the instrument cluster may not show any information, and the engine could stall. Note: This problem could cause damp carpets in the front foot wells and fogged windows.

Why it matters

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. An instrument cluster that does not display information about vehicle systems could also increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Mercedes-Benz will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the foot wells and repair any leaks. The dealer will also perform additional repairs that are necessary.
