519 of 25,867 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On certain vehicles, C-pillar head impact protection pads were omitted during vehicle assembly. This could increase the risk of injury to rear seat occupants during a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if required, install head impact protection pads.
NOTE: CHRYSLER LEBARON CONVERTIBLES ONLY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE ACCESSORY FLOOR MAT MAY BE MISPOSITIONED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT CAN INTERFERE WITH THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IN SOME INSTANCES THIS COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION.
No risk description available.
FLOOR MAT WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE THAT ELIMINATES THE INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL.
On certain trucks, the rear drive axle housing was manufactured with steel below the specified thickness, which could result in fatigue failure over time. If failure occurs, the outboard end of the housing could eventually separate, allowing the hub, axle shaft, and/or wheel and brake assembly to separate from the vehicle. This could cause a vehicle crash with injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the axle assembly.
On certain motorcycles, the licence plate bracket mounting screws could loosen, allowing the plate assembly to contact the rear tire. This could cause the licence plate bracket to rotate and damage the rear brake line, causing a fluid leak. The loss of rear brake function, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the rider’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will remove the rear licence plate mounting screws, apply thread-locking compound, and reinstall, tightening to the specified torque.
Certain vehicles may experience an external transmission fluid leak at the lube feed passage due to thin case casting in the cooler boss area. This condition could allow transmission oil to spray onto the exhaust system which could result in a vehicle fire.
No risk description available.
Vehicles will be inspected and transmission replaced if required.
On certain vehicles, the flat tire monitoring system's programming could contain a defect. Specifically, an audible signal (single gong) that is used, in part, to alert the driver to a flat tire, has not been correctly programmed. In the event of a flat tire, the audible signal will not sound. Also, the system's indicator lamp will illuminate, but contrary to the description in the Owner's Manual will not flash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster.
Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 206 - Door Locks and Door Retention Components. The front and rear passenger-side door latches may have been switched during vehicle assembly. This could result in a passenger front door which cannot be opened by merely pulling on the interior handle and a rear door that can be opened with a simple pull of the interior door handle even if locked. Such a condition could affect the safe exiting of the vehicle in the event of a crash or protection of children from inadvertent opening of the rear door.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace, if necessary, any incorrectly installed door latch assemblies.
On certain vehicles, the right side liftgate sensor may not function as intended, resulting in an increase in force required to stop the power liftgate during its final closing stages. This could result in personal injury if a body part becomes trapped by the closing liftgate.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the right side power liftgate pinch sensor.
On certain Explorer, Explorer Sport and Explorer Sport Tract vehicles, the speed control cable strand cover could impact the conduit end fitting during speed control engagement. Repeated instance of this may result in flaring the cover end causing a binding condition when speed control is disengaged. Drivers may experience a high idle or a condition where it would appear speed control would not disengage. Braking function would be maintained though stopping distances may be increased.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the speed control cable.
On certain motorcycles, insufficient tightening torque may have been applied to the muffler mounting bolts during vehicle assembly. Should the bolts loosen, the muffler could separate from the motorcycle and impact nearby persons or objects resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will tighten muffler mounting bolts to the proper torque.
On certain vehicles equipped with the emergency calling (eCall) system, the communications module could be deactivated. As a result, the eCall may not work properly when there is a crash or when the SOS button is pressed.
If the eCall system does not work in an emergency situation, there could be a delay in response from emergency services.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the communication module and verify that it is properly activated.
Certain P10, P20 and P30 vehicles equipped with Gruman Olson bodies, may have an engine cover that was incorrectly manufactured causing the left side of the engine cover to protrude past the toe board flange. This protrusion could hinder the movement of the driver's right foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
On certain vehicles equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission, a locking cable may move out of position over time. With the locking cable out of position, the shifter can be moved out of the PARK position even if key is not in the ignition. This could allow the vehicle to roll and strike a person , object or vehicle without warning, causing personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will modify the locking cable system.
On certain motorcycles, if contrary to the instructions in the owner's manual, the engine is left running at an increased speed above idle (e.g., by operating the choke longer than necessary to obtain a smooth idle) while the vehicle is stationary, it is possible for the temperature of the exhaust system to rise considerably and cause fairing components to catch fire.
No risk description available.
A warning label to be installed on affected vehicles and an owner's manual insert with additional warning will be mailed to owners.
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 120 - Tire Selection and Rims. Vehicles may not have the correct cold tire inflation pressure stated on the tire information labels for 16 inch tires and the labels do not include the recommended rims that should be used with the tires specified on the label; may be equipped with 15 inch tires and do not have the correct markings on the sidewall; may be equipped with 15 inch rims that do not include the required markings.
No risk description available.
Correct labels and installation instructions will be mailed directly to owners. Letters will also advise owners with 16 inch tires to make certain that the tires are inflated to 35 psi. Owners with 15 inch tires will be advised to make sure that when they replace the P205/65 R15 92 tires with the correct P205/65 R15 94 tires.
On certain motorcycles, an incorrect gearbox detent spring could allow the transmission to inadvertently shift out of gear while the vehicle is underway. This would result in a loss of vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the gearbox detent spring.
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the cross-traffic alert system not to work. As a result, the system may not brake automatically if a road user is detected while the vehicle is backing out of a parking space.
A cross-traffic alert system that doesn't work could increase the risk of a crash.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to the MBUX multimedia system and reset the parking control unit settings.
Certain vehicles equipped with a rearview mirror backup camera display may fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 111 – Mirrors and Rear Visibility Systems. The cautionary message text in the rearview image display may temporarily reduce the field of view, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. This could increase the risk of property damage or injury to nearby pedestrians in the event the driver does not check surroundings through traditional means.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the rearview mirror.
On certain motorcycles, the rider's pant leg can contact the exhaust pipe. This could cause the pant leg to char or burn, and could injure the rider.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install an exhaust shield.
Certain vehicles may have been assembled with the inner fender skirt contacting the right hand brake pipe. Vibration of the fender skirt could eventually cause a fatigue fracture in the brake pipe resulting in the loss of brake fluid and subsequent loss of front braking action. The rear brake system would remain functional. However, loss of front braking at a time when minimum stopping distance is required could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
