• Recall R/2018/206 [UK]: Oil foam may develop in the active curve system oil reservoir
  It has been determined that on model series ml/gle gl/gls (166) & gle coupe (292) with active curve system (acs) oil foam may develop in the systems oil reservoir under dynamic operating conditions and at an oil level below the minimum level and escape via the ventilation bores in the cap of the reservoir. Depending on the orientation of the two ventilation bores the escaping oil could spray onto hot component parts of the exhaust system. In this case risk of fire cannot be ruled out.
  on affected vehicles replace the oil dipstick of the reservoir for the active curve system.

• Recall 2017145 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, an update provided between de 3rd and 5th of december 2016 to the vehicle control unit may have been incorrectly applied. This could affect the proper function of various safety systems such as airbag deployment sequence, seatbelts recognition status, speed limiter setting and others. These conditions could increase the risk of injury to the occupants in the event of a crash. Correction: dealers will update the affected control units.

• Recall 2016158 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the front driver air bag module.

• Recall 2011359 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, the fuel filter assembly may develop a leak from the fuel heater o-ring seal. Diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. This could ultimately result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the diesel fuel filter assembly.

• Recall 2010375 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain gl350, ml350 and r350 bluetec vehicles, the diesel fuel filter may have an o-ring that was not properly lubricated during assembly, which could lead to a diesel fuel leakage. As a result, diesel fuel may be deposited on the road and create a risk a crash. Correction: dealers will replace the fuel filter.

• Recall 2022237 [Canada]: Brakes
  Issue: on certain vehicles, corrosion could cause the brake booster to fail. If this happens, there may be an increase in brake pedal effort and increase the distance needed to stop the vehicle. In rare cases of severe corrosion, the brake booster could separate completely and cause a loss of brakes. Safety risk: a loss of brakes can increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz advises you to stop driving your vehicle immediately. The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact a local mercedes-benz dealership to arrange for towing and an inspection. The dealer will remove the rubber brake booster sleeve and determine whether the vehicle is safe to drive or if it can't be driven and a parts replacement is necessary. Also, depending on the results of the inspection, you may need to return within two years for a re-inspection.

My husband was going on his third deployment, he did not want me to have any car problem, so we spent almost 70k for a brand new 2011 mercedes gl blue tech. However, less than 30 days and 1460 miles, the steering wheel quit working during a turn, it almost killed me. I have contacted the dealer (valley motor mercedes, hunt valley , md )and the mercedes, they could not explain why this happened, they do not care about my safety and refused to replace the car. They did not care the fact i was scared to death to drive the car either, they charge such high price for a junk car, and refused to hold the responsibility. Shame on them, my husband put his life on the line to protect those kind people ! *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2011 mercedes benz glk350. The contact stated that the cruise control switch and the turn signal were both located on the left side of the steering wheel. Whenever he activated the left of right turn signals, his hand would hit the cruise control causing it to engage instead of the turn signal which was a design flaw. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated the vehicle was designed that way and could not be changed. The manufacturer was contacted and also stated that since the switch was designed on the same side of the steering wheel they could not be changed. The failure mileage was 4,000.
