One NHTSA recall is listed for this model and year range: campaign 26V481000 concerns possible corrosion and failure of the driver’s door-lock microswitch, which may prevent the electronic parking brake or Auto-Park feature from engaging automatically and could result in vehicle rollaway. The stated remedy is replacement of the driver’s door lock by a dealer at no charge. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed using the VIN and Mercedes-Benz service records.
