The front and rear passenger-side door latches may have been switched during vehicle assembly.  This could result in a passenger front door which cannot be opened by merely pulling on the interior handle and a rear door that can be opened with a simple pull of the interior door handle even if locked.  Such a condition could affect the safe exiting of the vehicle in the event of a crash or protection of children from inadvertent opening of the rear door.  Correction: Dealers will replace, if necessary, any incorrectly installed door latch assemblies.","mfr_campaign":null,"units":14,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Compliance Mfr","match":"exact","models":["S CLASS"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2009139"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"09V081000","date":"2009-03-13","manufacturer":"MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC.","component":"LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES","summary":"MERCEDES BENZ IS RECALLING 54 MY 2009 S-CLASS, W221 VEHICLES.
