What are the defects?
Due to a manufacturing defect, the door-lock microswitch may be susceptible to water damage and could fail.
If this occurs, the door may not be detected as open, preventing the auto park feature from operating as intended.
What are the hazards?
A loss of auto park feature may result in unintended vehicle movement. This increases the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.
What should consumers do?
Note: Driver should always engage the Park position on the gear selector and apply the parking brake, as described in the Owner’s Manual, prior to leaving the vehicle.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Mercedes Benz in writing asking them to schedule an appointment with their authorised dealership to have the repair carried when parts become available, free of charge.
