Recall Data Provided by NHTSA

#
1		Make(s):
MERCEDES BENZ		Model(s):
SL-CLASS		Year(s):
2013
Manufacturer:
MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC.		NHTSA ID:
12V478000		Recall Date:
October 1st, 2012		Units Affected:
432

Affected Component: Equipment:appliance:air conditioner.

Summary: Mercedes-benz is recalling certain model year 2013 sl-class vehicles manufactured from december 19, 2011, through may 31,2012 originally equipped with r1234yf refrigerant. Daimler ag (dag), the parent company of mercedes-benz, conducted product testing of a vehicle, not sold in the us, but equipped with the same refrigerant. According to mercedes-benz, the testing was designed to replicate worst-case conditions expected in a severe frontal crash that would cause a rupture of the air conditioner refrigerant line. A rupture of a refrigerant line will result in a gaseous mixture of refrigerant being released into the engine compartment. .

Conequence: The testing conducted by dag determined that the escaping r1234yf refrigerant may ignite under specific conditions. The resulting fire could spread to additional combustible materials. .

Remedy: Mercedes-benz will notify owners, and dealers will replace the r1234yf refrigerant with r134a along with new refrigerant lines (hoses) designed specifically for r134a. The remedy will be provided free of charge. The safety recall began on november 8, 2012. Owners may contact mercedes-benz at 1-800-367-6372. .

Notes: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153).

Affected Component: Air bags:side/window.

Summary: Mercedes-benz (mercedes) is recalling certain model year 2013 sl63, sl550, and sl65 vehicles manufactured january 16, 2013, through april 30, 2013. The affected vehicles are equipped with an occupant classification system (ocs) that may not detect a very light person sitting in the front passenger seat. .

Conequence: If the ocs does not detect a very light person sitting in the seat, the passenger side air bag would be turned off. In the event of a crash necessitating side air bag deployment, the passenger would be at an increased risk of injury. .

Remedy: Mercedes will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger side seat cushion including the ocs. The recall began on december 20, 2013. Owners may contact mercedes at 1-201-573-0600. .

Affected Component: Steering:electric power assist system.

Summary: Mercedes-benz usa, llc. (mbusa) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 sl550, 2013-2014 sl63 amg, 2014-2016 e350, 2014 e350 cabriolet, e350 coupe, 2014-2015 s550, 2015 e350 bluetec, 2015-2016 e400, 2016 e550 coupe, and maybach s600 vehicles manufactured august 23, 2012, to august 14, 2015. The affected vehicles use an electric power steering system that may have improperly soldered contacts inside the control unit, potentially resulting in the power steering system deactivating while driving. .

Conequence: If the control unit pins lose connection, there would be a loss of electric power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash. The increase in pin contact resistance can also increase the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and ignition is off. .

Remedy: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the electric power steering control unit, free of charge. The recall began october 13, 2017. Owners may contact mbusa customer service at 1-800-367-6372. .

Notes: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153).
