Certain vehicles may have been programmed with incorrect software calibration data during the manufacturing process. This could affect various functions such as: The electric fuel pump may not receive a signal which, in case of a crash, may prevent the fuel pump from disconnecting as designed; The maximum speed limiter may not be activated; The fuel gauge readings may be incorrect; A stuck fuel-level sensor may not be displayed in the instrument cluster; The speedometer may be out of tolerance which, as a result, may indicate inaccurate vehicle speed; The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system may reduce the emission level applicable to the vehicle, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate incorrectly. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the electronic control module.

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.. Types: Types: 164, 164 AMG, 164 G, 169, 171, 171 AMG, 197, 203, 203 K, 203 CL, 204 K, 204 K AMG, 204 X, 207, 212, 212 AMG, 212 K, 212 K AMG, 251, 251 AMG; e1*2001/116*0315*01 to *17, e1*2001/116*0403*00 to *07, e1*2001/116*0340*03 to *14, e1*2001/116*0288*00 to *15, e1*2001/116*0262*03 to *08, e1*2001/116*0321*00 to *02, e1*2007/46*0233*00 to *06; e1*2001/116*0501*04 to *11, e1*2007/46*0191*00 to *04, e1*2007/46*0200*00 to *10, e1*2007/46*0335*00 to *01, e1*2001/116*0341*04 to *17, e1*2001/116*0404*00; e1*98/14*0139*14 to *24, e1*98/14*0158*17 to *20, e1*98/14*0159*15 to *17, e1*2001/116*0457*00 to *29 , e1*2001/116*0463*00 to *12, e1*2001/116*0480*00 to *16, e1*2001/116*0502*00 to *21.
