Complaint Information: OBD II Codes

NHTSA Mandated Recalls
  • 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 R/2015/041 [UK]: Fire may occur
    A seal between bonnet and engine compartment may when the bonnet is opened temporarily stick to the bonnet. If this happens the seal may detach form its fixing and can fall into the gap between engine and partition wall. It is then possible the seal can make contact with the exhaust and under certain conditions catch fire.
    on affected vehicles install additional clips to retain the seal.

  • Recall R/2021/277 [UK]: The driver's air bag may have a chemical change to its propellant over time
    The driver's airbag may have a chemical change to its propellant over time.
    replace the driver?S airbag.

  • Recall R/2021/358 [UK]: Takata airbag might not deploy as specified
    Certain climatic conditions may cause a chemical change to the airbag propellants?Over time.?
    replace the driver and?Passenger airbags.?

  • Recall R/2020/200 [UK]: Certain specific calibrations of functions must be changed in the engine management
    Certain specific calibrations of functions must be changed in the engine management of the vehicles
    update the diesel engine control unit software

  • Recall R/2017/282 [UK]: Electrical wiring in steering assembly may be insufficiently grounded
    The steering column clock spring may break. This will cause warning messages to illuminate in the instrument cluster but in extreme instances it may cause the driver's airbag to deploy.
    affected vehicles will be recalled to establish sufficient grounding of the steering components.

  • Recall R/2020/243 [UK]: Engine control unit software to be updated
    Improve the vehicle emissions via software updates.
    update the relevant control unit?S software and if necessary replace the nox sensors.

  • Recall R/2019/256 [UK]: To achieve an improvement in the emissions via software updates
    Improve the vehicle emissions via software updates.
    update the diesel engine control unit software and add a supplementary booklet for the operator's manual

  • Recall R/2019/304 [UK]: Software update required to improve emissions
    Improve the vehicle emissions via software updates.
    update the diesel engine control unit software and add a supplementary booklet for the operator's manual. Check and replace nox sensor if necessary.

  • Recall 2021514 [Canada]: Airbag
    Issue: on certain vehicles, an incorrect passenger-front airbag may have been installed during a previous repair. As a result, the airbag may not inflate properly in a crash. Safety risk: an airbag that does not inflate properly can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective action: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealer to replace the passenger-front airbag.

  • Recall 2018741 [Canada]: Airbag
    On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

  • Recall 2018724 [Canada]: Steering
    On certain vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (quebec, new brunswick, nova scotia, prince edward island, and newfoundland & labrador), the bolts that attach the electric power steering assist motor to the steering gear housing may corrode and break. This could cause a loss of power steering assist. The resulting increase in steering effort could create the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the mounting bolts and apply a corrosion protection coating to the gear housing and bolts. If the bolts bolt cannot be removed, a replacement steering gear will be installed.

  • Recall 2017490 [Canada]: Airbag
    On certain vehicles, electrostatic discharge, when combined with a broken clock spring and insufficient grounding of the steering components, could lead to an inadvertent deployment of the driver's frontal airbag. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: dealers will add sufficient grounding to the steering components. Note: a broken clock spring would result in a driver airbag warning message appearing in the instrument cluster, as well as a red airbag warning lamp illuminating.

  • Recall 2015058 [Canada]: Structure
    On certain vehicles, a rubber seal mounted on the firewall may come loose. If the seal was to come loose and fall onto the exhaust system, this could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will attach additional retaining clips.
