Description of the problem	My car has a safety risk open recall since february 08, 2017 that has not been fixed. I have not been contacted by an authorized mercedes benz dealer to take my car in and remedy the safety recall. The recall notice states summary: daimler ag (dag), the manufacturer of mercedes-benz vehicles, has decided that on certain c-class (205 platform), e-class (213 platform) and glc (253 platform) vehicles, the starting current limiter could be overloaded under certain conditions during the starting procedure. In the event the starter is blocked due to engine/transmission damage (e. G. Hydro locked engine), a very high electric current would flow through the starting current limiter during the subsequent start attempt. Should the driver attempt to start the engine repeatedly despite the engine not cranking, the very high electric current draw might lead to overheating of the starting current limiter. In a worst case, surrounding components might melt, and potentially ignite and lead to a fire. Safety risk: in the event the starter is blocked due to engine/transmission damage (e. G. Hydro locked engine), a very high electric current would flow through the starting current limiter during the subsequent start attempt. Should the driver attempt to start the engine repeatedly despite the engine not cranking, the very high electric current draw might lead to overheating of the starting current limiter. In a worst case, surrounding components might melt, and potentially ignite and lead to a fire. Remedy: an authorized mercedes-benz dealer will retrofit a fuse on the starting current limiter on the affected vehicles. Recall status: recall incomplete
