Recalls- LP Gas Hose. NHTSA recall 15V625000 affects 8,842 vehicles. The high pressure LP hose may harden and leak propane at the crimp fitting, increasing fire risk. The remedy replaces the LP hose free of charge.
- Door Wedge Installation. Recall 15V135000 covers 519 vehicles. Incorrectly installed abutting wedges on door jambs may require more force to open doors after a severe frontal crash, raising injury risk. Mercedes-Benz dealers will inspect and correct installations.
- Certification Labels. Recall 15V490000 involves 1,732 vehicles. The front tire pressure labels are incorrect, which can cause improper tire inflation, increasing crash risk. The fix provides corrected labels at no charge.
- Cabinet Shelf. Recall 19V042000 applies to 3,351 units. Overhead cabinet shelves may detach and fall, distracting the driver and increasing injury or crash risk. Dealers install support brackets and add warning labels.
- Electrical Connection. Recall 16V598000 affects 3,826 vehicles. A loose connection to the automatic transfer switch may cause heat buildup and fire risk. Dealers tighten connections and replace parts as needed free of charge.
- Radio Volume Module. Recall 17V262000 covers 5,057 vehicles. The Axxess radio volume control module may interfere with the electrical system, potentially causing engine shutdown, power loss, and restraint system issues, increasing crash risk. Dealers remove the module.
- Seat Belt Anchorage. Recall 20V659000 involves 1,806 vehicles. Weld nuts on the shoulder belt brackets were installed incorrectly, reducing retention strength. Dealers inspect and install serrated flange nuts to ensure proper anchorage.
- Fire Extinguisher. Recall 17V782000 affects 17,360 vehicles. Kidde plastic-handle or push-button extinguishers may clog or require excessive force, preventing discharge. The nozzle may detach, causing injury and inoperability. Owners receive replacements free from Kidde.
Owners with repeated repairs, unresolved recalls, or safety-related defects may have rights under their state lemon law. Consulting a qualified attorney can help address persistent issues or potential claims.
