Recall Alert: 2008-2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, 2010 GLK-Class
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 126,000 model-year 2008-09 Mercedes-Benz C300 and C300 4Matic sedans, C63 AMG sedans, C350 coupes, and model-year 2010 GLK350 and GLK350 4Matic SUVs
The Problem: The airbag control unit may corrode and cause it to malfunction, which could cause the airbags to unexpectedly deploy, increasing the risk of an injury and the possibility of a crash. Alternatively, a malfunction may cause the airbags to not deploy in a crash, also increasing the risk of an injury.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the airbag control unit and replace it as necessary for free.
