5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies three safety concerns for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. A Communication Software fault may cause the eCall system to transmit an inaccurate vehicle location, which could delay emergency responders and increase injury risk. An Exterior Lighting issue may prevent the sides of the LED tail lights from illuminating, reducing rear visibility and increasing crash risk. A Hood issue may allow the rubber seal to contact exhaust components, increasing the risk of fire. Waiting leaves these conditions unresolved, so contact Park Place Motorcars Arlington promptly for a VIN check and the applicable free manufacturer remedy.
