Recalls- Accessory floor mats. NHTSA recall 12E028000 affects 8,879 vehicles. The mats may not fit the floor contour properly and could trap the gas pedal, preventing it from retracting. This raises a crash risk. Dealers will replace the mats free of charge. Owners are advised to remove the mats until replacements arrive.
- Fuel pump control unit. Recall 22V955000 covers 348,183 vehicles. Water can accumulate in the spare tire well and damage the fuel pump control unit, causing engine stalls while driving. This increases crash risk. Dealers install a water drain plug, inspect for water damage, and replace the control unit if needed.
- Front suspension system. Recall 18V272000 involves 9,725 vehicles equipped with the Active Curve System. Low oil levels in the ACS reservoir can cause oil to foam and leak out, potentially leading to fire if near an ignition source. Dealers correct the oil level and replace the reservoir sealing cap to prevent leaks.

EQUIPMENT
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain accessory all-season floor mats sold for use in model year 2012 and 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class vehicles. This all-season floor mat may not fully conform to the contour of the vehicle's floor plan as intended. Clearance between the mat and the gas pedal may be reduced, possibly allowing the pedal to become trapped.
Risk: This interference could prevent the gas pedal from retracting and the vehicle may not decelerate as expected when the driver lifts their foot from the gas pedal, which could increase the risk of a crash. Should the pedal become trapped, steady application of the brakes will allow the vehicle to be brought to a stop.
