Mercedes-Benz Ml350 Recalls

The Mercedes-Benz ML350 has 9 recalls covering the 2010–2015 model years, with the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator defect on 2010–2011 models where the driver's frontal airbag can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially injuring the driver or other occupants.

On 2015 models, axle carrier bolts on the front and/or rear drive axles may not have been correctly assembled, and if the remaining bolts fracture, the vehicle can become unstable and difficult to control. Also on 2015 models, a right rear seatbelt anchor bolt may have been incorrectly installed, meaning the belt can fail to restrain a rear passenger in a crash.

The 2012–2015 model years share two separate issues. A front suspension component can leak oil, and if that oil contacts an ignition source, it raises the risk of a fire. There is also a fuel pump control unit located in the spare tire well that can be damaged by water accumulation, causing the engine to stall while driving. On 2012–2014 models, a software fault can prevent airbags from deploying as intended in a crash, reducing occupant protection. The 2013–2015 model years have an emergency call system software error that can report an inaccurate vehicle location to emergency responders, potentially delaying their arrival.

Going back to 2010–2011 production, moisture can accumulate inside the brake booster housing, causing corrosion that reduces braking performance or leads to brake failure.
