Daimler AG (DAG), the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, conducted product testing of a vehicle, not sold in the US, but equipped with the same refrigerant.  According to Mercedes-Benz, the testing was designed to replicate worst-case conditions expected in a severe frontal crash that would cause a rupture of the air conditioner refrigerant line.  A rupture of a refrigerant line will result in a gaseous mixture of refrigerant being released into the engine compartment.","mfr_campaign":null,"units":432,"do_not_drive":false,"park_outside":false,"notification":null,"match":"exact","models":["SL-CLASS"],"built_from":"2011-12-19","built_to":"2012-05-31","url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/nhtsa/12V478000"}],"lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."]}
