Faulty configurations of the control units (traction systems, signal recording triggering modules, engine control units and headlights) could cause one or more control units to malfunction, which could increase the risk of an accident. The exhaust emissions exceed the legal limits, posing a risk to the environment. Production: 21.07.2004 - 08.07.2015. Types: 171, 203, 203 K, 209, 230, 463, 204, 204 AMG, 204 K, 204 K AMG, 207; e1*2001/116*0262*02-*14, e1*98/14*0139*18-*24, e1*98/14*0158*15-*20, e1*98/14*0184*10-*15, e1*98/14*0169*08-*17; e1*96/79*0064*26-*35, e1*2001/116*0431*00-*28, e1*2001/116*0464*00-*10, e1*2001/116*0457*00-*24, e1*2001/116*0463*00-*10, e1*2001/116*0502*00-*14.
The driver and passenger airbags of the company Takata in vehicles with ammonium nitrate gas generators without drying agents could, under certain climate conditions, lead over time to a chemical change in the fuel. In the event of an accident triggering the release of the driver or passenger airbag, this change could cause the gas generators to burst. If a gas generator ruptures, the airbag would then have no restraining function and loose parts from the gas generator could reach the vehicle interior. This would increase the risk of injury for passengers. Production: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 2004 and 2016..
