• 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/2012/111 [UK]: Rear-axle suspension level sensor may break
  On e class vehicles without airmatic blocking of the level sensor linkage may occur. In extreme cases this may lead to breakage of the level sensor linkage. The linkage is used to measure the vehicle level via a sensor. If the linkage breaks it is possible the level sensor constantly records a vehicle level that is too low. This leads to a contact pressure rise in both air spring bellows and to hardening of the rear-axle suspension causing a noticeable loss in comfort.
  replace the level sensor linkage on these vehicles as a precautionary measure.

• Recall R/2011/172 [UK]: Fuel may leak
  Fuel leaks in the plug area of the drain opening may occur at the fuel filter with integrated fuel heaters. Fuel can escape and is noticeable to the customer due to a corresponding diesel odour. The diesel can reach the road and as a result friction between the tyres and road surface may be decreased.
  check filter and replace as necessary.

• Recall R/2019/458 [UK]: The bonding between the glass panel and the sliding roof frame may not meet specifications

• Recall 2021478 [Canada]: Structure
  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles inspected under mercedes-benz recall 7891003 (transport canada recall 2019-668) that require a second inspection. On certain vehicles, the sunroof glass may not be properly attached to the sliding roof frame. Over time, the glass can become loose and could separate from the vehicle. Note: this recall affects 2006 and 2007 models originally equipped with a sunroof. Additionally, some 2001-2011 models may have had an affected sunroof installed during a repair. Safety risk: a sunroof that detaches from the vehicle could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the bonding of the sunroof glass. Dealers will replace the sliding roof, if necessary.

• Recall 2012176 [Canada]: Suspension
  On certain e-class wagons, the load levelling rear suspension could malfunction. This could trigger a continuous attempt to increase the pressure in the air bellows, which can lead to uncomfortable and stiff suspension characteristics. Ultimately, this could cause a loss of air pressure in the bellows, which could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the level control system connecting rod with an updated version.

I purchased a 2009 mercedes e320 bluetec vehicle on december 10, 2008 with 18 miles on the odometer. January, 2009 the check engine light stayed on and the dealer replaced an oxygen sensor. The car had approximately 2000 miles. At 5000 miles, the check engine light stays on. The dealer informs after another diagnosis that the problem is the software and a patch has not been developed for the 2009 models. At this time they can determined when a fix will be ready. They say the car is safe to drive. *tr
