• Recall 33655 [USA]: Due to inadequate illumination, the driver will be unable to read the gauges and indicators, such as the speedometer, which could increase the risk of a crash.
  On certain vehicles, the instrument cluster is experiencing electrical malfunctions. The instrument cluster contains gauges and indicators that must be illuminated whenever the vehicle is in operation.
  dealers will replace the instrument cluster modules. The recall will be conducted in phases. Phase i was mailed out to approximately 7,500 owners on september 29, 2006. Phase ii and phase iii is scheduled for december 2006. Owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372.

• Recall R/2005/056 [UK]: Brake pedal may require more effort than expected
  In isolated cases it is possible for vibrations within the vehicle to in turn vibrate the wiring harness connected to the sensotronic brake control unit. This causes the internal contacts within the unit to suffer abrasion and subsequent resistance increase. The resultant affect is that more effort will be required on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
  recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and mount an additional bracket to the electrical harness to prevent relative movement.

• Recall R/2017/124 [UK]: Faulty control unit may cause vehicle to perform outside specification
  Where a control unit coding was updated in a workshop between 3 december 2016 and 5 december 2016 the coding may not correspond to the specification and may trigger unplanned action in the vehicle. The safety and emissions systems may not react as design intent.
  recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the software in the corresponding control units.

• Recall 2008290 [Canada]: Other
  Certain vehicles equipped with active body control (abc) the sensors on the front struts may not operate within tolerances. As such, the sensor signal may not be accurately transmitted to the electronic control unit (ecu). A variation in the transmitted values can result in one front strut adjusting to a value while the other does not adjust and presenting the driver with an uneven front suspension. This situation could have an effect on the vehicle's directional stability, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash with injuries or death. Correction: dealers will inspect and replace affected az-sensors

• Recall 2006031 [Canada]: Electrical
  Certain vehicles may experience instrument cluster backlighting malfunction. There are three distinct failure modes. (1) vehicles built between 06/2000 and 11/2000 may contain a defective transformer that could cause an electrical short. (2) vehicles built from 01/2002 to 04/2002 could have incorrect dielectric layers inside a capacitor that could lead to fluctuating current levels. (3) vehicles built between 05/2004 and 09/2004 may have incorrect light emitting diodes (leds). Correction: dealers will replace the instrument cluster module.
