09- Structure#2021170
229 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the plastic panel located between the windshield and the panoramic sunroof may not have been attached correctly during a prior service repair. Over time, the panel could loosen and separate from the vehicle. Safety Risk: A panel that detaches from a moving vehicle could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front roof panel.
- Brakes#2018435
2,212 units affected
On certain vehicles, a problem with the rear brake system may cause gas bubbles to form in the brake fluid. This could cause a soft brake pedal feel and a reduction in brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will bleed the rear brakes.
- Structure#2017501
472 units affected
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts and CMVSS 115 - Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Excess bulkhead insulation material may have been used during manufacturing, and as a result, could extend into the lower area of the windshield. This excess insulation could cover the VIN label, and potentially affect bonding of the windshield. If the windshield bonding is affected on the passenger side, in the event of a crash (where passenger frontal airbag deployment is warranted), the airbag may not deploy as designed, which would fail to meet the requirements of the standard, and increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the bulkhead insulation for excess material and remove it as necessary. In the event of compromised windshield bonding, the bonding will be reworked.
- Engine#2017395
2,775 units affected
On certain vehicles, the engine control unit may be out of specification. This could result in the engine shutting down when applying the brakes just before stopping the vehicle, and/or with a high engine load combined with an insufficient accelerator pedal actuation following an ECO start. Depending on traffic conditions, an unintentional engine shut-down could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the engine and transmission control unit software.
- Steering#2017207
6,405 units affected
On certain vehicles, the electric power steering connector may not be properly sealed against water entry. This could allow moisture to enter the power steering control unit which could interrupt the signal and cause the electric steering assist to deactivate. A loss of power steering assist could unexpectedly increase steering effort which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction dealers will replace the connector and, if necessary, replace the steering rack.
- Structure#2017061
599 units affected
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 201 - Occupant Protection. The latch securing the center console doors might not meet the requirements of the standard, specifically the longitudinal load tests. In the event of a crash, if longitudinal loads exceed those specified in the standard, items secured in the center console might exit the compartment, which may increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will remove the bumper stop for the center console armrest latch.
- Seats And Restraints#2016618
5,346 units affected
On certain vehicles, the calibration of the front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may not detect a small statured seat occupant if the occupant is sitting on the edge of the seat and remains stationary for a long period of time. As a result, the passenger frontal airbag may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will update the software of the Occupant Classification System.
- Seats And Restraints#2016403
3 units affected
On certain vehicles, if subjected to low temperatures of -20° C or colder, the rear head restraints may not remain locked in the upright position. In the event of a crash at low temperatures, this could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear head restraints.
- Powertrain#2015506
2 units affected
On certain vehicles, the rear drive shaft bolts may not have been tightened to specification and could loosen, which could, overtime, cause the drive shaft to separate from the transmission. This could cause a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and tighten the bolts as necessary.
