Recalls

Issue: On certain vehicles, the propeller shaft may not be properly attached to the intermediate bearing.

As a result, the propeller shaft joint could wear out.

This could cause vibrations that the airbag (SRS) control unit interprets as a crash and deploy the front airbags.

Safety Risk: A sudden deployment of the front airbags without a crash could create a risk of injury.

This could also startle the driver, which may lead to a crash.

Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the propeller shaft and replace it, if necessary.
