The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA)
provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features
and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision.
The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of
rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
|
|
Description:
|
On certain passenger vehicles, the starter wiring harness may be routed incorrectly. This routing could lead to chafing of the protective sleeve covering the starter wiring harness at the engine mount cover. Over time, such chafing has the potential to wear through the protective sleeve and may expose the underlying starter wiring harness to further chafing, which could result in an electrical short, and the loss of function of the vehicle's electrical system. Dealers will inspect and where necessary correct, the routing of the wiring harness. In the case of wear, the protective sleeve, and if necessary, the starter wiring harness, will be replaced. The recall is expected to begin during April 2006. Owners may contact Mercedes Benz at 1-800-367-6372.

SEAT BELTS: REAR:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
|
|
Description:
|
On certain passenger vehicles, during the production process, the threads in the nut used to secure the seat belt buckle in a limited number of second row seats may be missing. The absence of the screw threads results in an incomplete connection of the buckle to the seat. In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will inspect to see if the nut is missing and replace the seat if necessary free of charge. The recall began on May 3, 2006. Owners may contact Mercedes Benz at 1-800-367-6372.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
|
|
Description:
|
On certain passenger vehicles, under hard operating conditions, the engine compartment temperature can increase to a level which exceeds the design parameters for the alternator to not function and it will become damaged. This will create the potential for an engine compartment fire. Dealers will improve the engine compartment and alternator cooling, install a modified control unit and a new alternator free of charge. The recall began on June 23, 2006. Owners may contact Mercedes Benz at 1-800-367-6372.

Mercedes Benz is recalling MY2006-2008 m-class, r-class, MY2005-2009 slk-class, MY2005-2008 c-class, MY2003-2004 and 2006-2008 clk-class, MY2003-2008 e-class, MY2004 and 2008 cl-class, MY2008 cls-class, MY2004 and 2007-2008 s-class, MY2003 g-class, and MY2003-2004, 2006 and 2009 sl-class vehicles. A software calibration number (scn) coding received on the affected vehicles during a recent workshop visit was incorrect. Depending on the model year and model affected, the results of an incorrect scn coding can affect a number of vehicle safety and emission functions including the following types of functions: (1) the fuel gauge readings may be incorrect; (2) a stuck fuel-level sensor may not be displayed in the instrument cluster; (3) the obd system may cause the check engine light to illuminate incorrectly; and, (4) the speedometer may be out of tolerance. In the event of a vehicle crash, the electrical fuel pump may not receive a crash signal that is required for the fuel pump to disconnect and prevent future fuel delivery as designed. Dealers will recode the scn free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during August 2008. Owners may contact Mercedes Benz at 1-800-367-6372.
