- [2022127](/recalls/tc/2022127.md), 2022-03-18: Electrical. Issue: During servicing at a dealership, a small number of vehicles may have received an incorrect software update to one or more control units. As a result, the electronic stability control system, exterior lighting, and engine power could be affected.  Safety Risk: Safety systems that don't work correctly 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 software in the control module\(s\).
- [2018020](/recalls/tc/2018020.md), 2018-01-10: 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.
- [2016158](/recalls/tc/2016158.md), 2016-04-13: 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.
- [2015505](/recalls/tc/2015505.md), 2015-10-23: Airbag. On certain vehicles, a defect in the supplemental restraint system \(SRS\) controller could result in the inadvertent deployment of SRS components, such as airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, or could cause these components to fail to deploy in a crash where deployment is warranted. Unintended seatbelt pretensioner, airbag or other  deployment, in a non\-warranted \(non\-impact\) situation, could result in minor injuries and could also startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash. Additionally, failure of the SRS components to deploy in a crash could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the SRS control unit.  Note: This condition would cause the illumination of the SRS warning light.
- [2014132](/recalls/tc/2014132.md), 2014-04-14: Lights And Instruments. On certain vehicles, oxidation on the ground pin connector for the rear tail lamps may cause a dimming or loss of one or more rear lamp functions \(tail, brake, turn signal\). Failure of any rear lamp function may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, as well as reducing vehicle conspicuity during hours of darkness. Correction: Dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the rear tail lamps on affected vehicles.
