Mercedes-Benz Recalls Over 310,000 US Vehicles on Rollaway Risk
Mercedes-Benz is recalling 310,667 vehicles in the United States due to a safety defect that could lead to a vehicle rollaway, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced Thursday.
Details of the Safety Defect
According to the NHTSA filing, the issue stems from a potentially corroded micro-switch within the driver's door lock. This corrosion can cause the system to fail to detect when the driver's door is open.
The agency warned that this failure could prevent the vehicle's auto-park brake from engaging automatically as intended. This creates a significant safety hazard, as it could result in an unattended vehicle rolling away, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Affected Models and Remedy
AdThe recall impacts a wide range of the automaker's popular vehicles. The models included are:
- CLA-Class
- A-Class
- C-Class
- CLE-Class
- GLA/GLB-Class
- GLC-Class
To resolve the issue, Mercedes-Benz dealers will replace the driver’s door lock for affected vehicle owners. The NHTSA confirmed that this service will be performed free of charge.
