2013 MERCEDES-BENZ SL CLASS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL Class has two recalls, the more serious being a fault in the electric power steering control unit where a faulty solder connection can cause a short circuit and start a fire. The second recall involves the front passenger seat's occupant classification system, which can malfunction and incorrectly read the seat as unoccupied even with a passenger present. When this happens, the system deactivates the front passenger airbag and illuminates a warning light, meaning the airbag may not deploy in a crash and leaving that occupant with reduced protection.

STEERING

Defect

On certain vehicles, the electric power steering control unit may have been manufactured with improperly soldered contacts. If the pins of the control unit were to lose complete contact, it could lead to a short circuit within the control unit, increasing the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. In addition, the condition could result in a loss of power steering assist, which would increase steering effort and increase the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property.
