2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E300 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E300 has 10 recalls, the most serious involving a fuel pump wiring harness that the rear seat frame can damage, potentially stalling the engine, and a steering column shift lever module that may fail to engage a gear when selected. Three recalls involve airbags. The front passenger airbag inflator may fail to fire in a crash, a separate sensor misclassification can cause the front passenger airbag to be suppressed when an adult is seated, and the front passenger airbag may also not deploy correctly when a passenger is seated at the edge of or reclined in the seat. On the steering side, a small number of vehicles have an electric power steering control unit with faulty contact pins that can cause the power steering assist to cut out. The roof-mounted spoiler on some vehicles may not be securely attached and can detach at speed, becoming a road hazard. Two headlight recalls affect vehicles fitted with LED headlights: the low beams may be misaimed and insufficiently illuminate the road, and horizontal adjustment screws on some vehicles may lack proper sealing, allowing the aim to be changed over time. The instrument cluster software can cause the display to go blank at startup or reset while driving, leaving the driver without speed and other key readouts.
