| Description of the problem | I am writing because mercedes has failed to provide a remedy for a recall notice dated october 16, 2017, over 1-1/4 years ago. I have contacted my dealer several times and they have no information on any solution for this recall. It would appear based on this performance that mercedes may have no intention of providing a solution to this recall which, according to the notice, is potentially life threatening. I ask that the nhtsa take action to force mercedes to provide a solution to fix the problem on an expedited basis given how they have not done so for over 15 months. The recall information is: oct 16,2017 manufacturer recall number2017120024 nhtsa recall number17v627 recall status: recall incomplete safety risk: an inadvertent driver airbag deployment may cause a risk of injury to the driver and might increase the risk of a potential crash. Remedy: as a precautionary measure an authorized mercedes-benz dealer, will add sufficient grounding to the steering components on the affected vehicles. Thank you |
