Mercedes-Benz to Recall 310,000+ US Vehicles Over Open Door Detection Flaw
Details of the Mercedes-Benz Recall
Scope of the Recall
July 30 (Reuters) - Mercedes-Benz is recalling 310,667 vehicles in the U.S. due to risk of failure to detect an open door, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Thursday.
Affected Models
The recall includes models such as CLA, A-Class, C-Class, CLE, GLA/GLB, and GLC vehicles, the NHTSA said, adding that dealers will replace the driver's door lock free of charge.
Reason for the Recall
The failure to detect an open door, due to a corroded micro-switch in driver's door lock, could prevent the auto-park brake from engaging automatically and result in a vehicle rollaway, the agency said.
