Mercedes-Benz to Recall 774,000 Vehicles Across Europe

Giancarlo Perlas June 11, 2018

A total of 774,000 diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz vehicles are set to be recalled in Europe. It was after the German government ordered Daimler to recall 238,000 units equipped with illegal software that could manipulate diesel emission readings. Daimler said it would recall all the affected vehicles, according to BBC. However, the company denied of any wrongdoing. The crackdown for vehicles with “cheat devices” continues since Volkswagen admitted three years ago that their autos were fitted with such tech that could mask their real emission figures. The investigations that resulted from the event dubbed as “Dieselgate” revealed that an estimated 11 million cars worldwide were affected in the case, which included Mercedes-Benz… Continue Reading »

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is certainly a gem in the luxury car market because of its style, tech, power, comfort and safety features. The car went on sale last June, but now, Mercedes announced that it is recalling some models of it in the United States. According to a report, Mercedes is recalling the 2017 E300 and E300 4MATIC sedan models made before September. The reason for the action is the potential danger that may be caused by a wiring harness installed under the rear-seats of the car. The said component has the tendency to interfere with the fuel-tank pressure sensor, fuel pump, and the fuel gauge. If any of… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas June 29, 2016

Mercedes-AMG recently announced that it is recalling around 135 units of its GT S. Affected models are those built with the 2016 model year or produced sometime between June 1 to July 24, 2015. According to Autoblog, the recall of the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S is due to a defect in the carbon-fiber driveshaft. The source said the issue stems from the adhesive bond along the driveshaft and the flange. The result of the problem is loss of power to the rear wheels. Failure of the component may cause the car to stop or decelerate if the vehicle is already moving. The good news is that there were no injuries or deaths that could… Continue Reading »

mercedes-benz recalls due to airbags

Mercedes-Benz recalls some of its vehicles in the United States for air bag issues. According to NBC, around 705,000 units were affected by the recall. Based on the source, the vehicles covered by the move were equipped with air bags manufactured by Takata Corp. The problem with the said air bags is that they have the tendency to explode with deadly force. The Takata airbags have the risk of overinflating, which can shoot shrapnels to the passenger area when it pops out. These have been blamed to be the cause of death of at least 10 people in the U.S. Aside from the Mercedes-Benz vehicles, 136,000 units of Daimler vans were also… Continue Reading »

Recalls Issued By Mercedes-Benz In The US

Peter Parcon December 28, 2015
Two voluntary recalls will be issued by Mercedes-Benz in the United States, as shown on a report from autoevolution.com. The company has already notified the NHTSA of the planned recall. Eight hundred nine units will be affected by one recall while the second recall will affect 52 vehicles. The two recalls will start in January 2016 and the owners of the vehicles affected will be notified by Mercedes-Benz USA that their vehicles will be repaired for free. A press release of the company showed the issues did not result to accidents and no one was injured due to the potential issues. The recalls of Mercedes-Benz USA were announced on December 22. The first recall is for a number of Mercedes-Benz E350 as well as E350 4Matic luxury sedans with gas engines. It was necessary to repair units manufactured from June 4, 2014 up to July 9, 2014. The recall notification indicated that the fuel feed line of the affected vehicles featured a single protective flare fitting when it should have been given a double flare fitting. The recall announced by the luxury vehicle manufacturer was aimed at preventing possible fire hazards if a leak develops in the connection between the fuel feed line and the fuel hose or it becomes disconnected. While the risk of fire only emerges with the presence of an ignition source, there is also a risk of a possible crass and stall if the fuel line becomes disconnected and the engine shuts down. The second recall made by the company was for a number of 2015 S550 hybrid units. Fifty-two units are affected by the second recall. These vehicles were manufactured between April 24, 2015 and June 12, 2015. The high voltage chargers installed in these units were not the correct ones, which may result to improper function of the plug-in feature and may erroneously detect an inserted charging cable even as the vehicle is on the road. When a charging cable is erroneously detected, it may automatically shift the car into Park while the car is running at slow speeds. The risk of crashes will increase when the car is suddenly shifted into park. Luckily, none of the issues associated with the recalls resulted to any accidents.

Mercedes-Benz Recalls More Cars Due to Several Issues

Giancarlo Perlas October 30, 2015

A series of Mercedes-Benz recalls were once again announced. It was due to several models of the brand having a defective engine control unit (ECU) software, and having problems with the intakes. According to the press release of Mercedes-Benz USA, which was published through Autoblog, 3,813 units were covered in the latest recall. The recall was decided after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found out that some cars of certain manufacturing dates have the tendency to bring about a software error within the ECU. This results to the vehicle stalling when coasting to a stop, such as at a traffic light. In addition, other models were found to have faulty intakes or exhaust camshafts…. Continue Reading »
