Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect and repair the screw connections and flange seals on the egr pipe.
Recall 2019564 [Canada]: Seats and restraints
Issue: on certain vehicles, the height adjuster of the front seats may not have been properly welded. As a result, the welds could break in a crash. If this happens, the seat cushions could shift forward and affect the seat belt operation. Safety risk: a seat belt that does not work as properly in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the height adjuster of the front seats.
Recall 2019563 [Canada]: Fuel supply
Issue: on certain diesel-powered vehicles, the fuel pump may not have been properly installed in the fuel tank. As a result, a fuel leak could occur.

Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the lock on the fuel pump mount. If necessary, it will be locked correctly.
Recall 2019511 [Canada]: Structure
Issue: on one van, the wedge-type stops (abutting wedges) may not be properly mounted to the b-pillars. As a result, in a severe frontal crash, the front doors could be compressed into the b-pillars. This could make the doors difficult to open. Safety risk: if it is difficult to exit or access the vehicle after a collision, there could be an increased risk of injury. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify the owner by mail and instruct them to take the vehicle to a dealer to inspect the wedge-type stops and correct the positioning, if necessary.
Recall 2019490 [Canada]: Airbag
Issue: on certain vans, the airbag control unit might not be properly activated. This could result in the airbag system not working as designed.

Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the airbag control unit. If required, the airbag control unit will be activated.
Recall 2019467 [Canada]: Structure
Issue: on certain vans, the upper hood latch may not be properly installed. Under some driving conditions, this could allow the hood to open suddenly while driving. Safety risk: if the hood opens while driving, it could suddenly block a driver's view. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their van to a dealer to inspect, and if necessary, tighten the mounting screws for the upper hood latch. Any missing screws will be replaced.
Recall 2019414 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
Issue: on certain vehicles, if the light switch is turned quickly, the tail lights may dim or turn off completely. Safety risk: tail lights that are dimmed or not working could make the vehicle less visible to other drivers and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the body controller software.
Recall 2019333 [Canada]: Visual system
Issue: certain vans were built with the wrong type of glass in one or both of the rear-side windows. Tempered glass was used in place of laminated glass. As a result, the vehicles may not meet the ejection mitigation requirements of the canadian regulations. Safety risk: vans built with incorrect side window glass could create a risk of ejection and injury in a rollover or side-impact crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their van to a dealer to replace the tempered window glass with laminated glass.
Recall 2019189 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
Issue: a software problem could make it impossible to turn off the high-beam headlights using the switch lever. This problem only affects certain vans with the high-beam assist option. Note: if this happens, the high-beams can be turned off by turning the headlight switch from the "automatic headlights" position to the "manual headlights" position, or by re-starting the van. Safety risk: high-beam lights that stay on could cause glare and reduce visibility for oncoming traffic. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your van to a dealer to update the body controller software.
Recall 2019181 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
Issue: the headlight range adjustment sensor on certain vans equipped with led high performance headlights may not have been installed or not have been calibrated correctly. This could cause the automatic headlights not to adjust properly. Safety risk: headlights that are not properly adjusted may not light the road well and could cause glare for oncoming drivers. Either of these situations could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their van to a dealer inspect and repair the automatic headlight sensor as necessary.
Recall 2022214 [Canada]: Visual system
Issue: on certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the central display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. Safety risk: a rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: mercedes-benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.
