2000 MERCEDES-BENZ ML CLASS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2000 Mercedes-Benz ML Class has 3 recalls, the most serious being a brake lamp switch defect that can prevent cruise control from disengaging, leaving the vehicle accelerating even when the driver presses the brake pedal. On the restraint side, the rear folding middle seat has two concerns. The seat belt anchor at that position may have been built with hardware that falls outside tolerance, meaning it may not hold as intended in a crash. There is also a compliance issue where the seat belt warning chime activates when the belt is already fastened rather than when it is not, which could cause a driver to ignore or misread the alert.
