What Happened With the Mercedes Recall?

- C-Class
- E-Class
- GLK-Class
- SLS-Class
The other recall was for Mercedes vehicles sold between 2018 and 2020, which affected over 40,000 vehicles. The models had a software issue that affected the vehicles' emergency call technology.
Who is Eligible for the Mercedes Recall?
Anyone who owns a Mercedes-Benz with a safety recall is eligible for a free repair, whether it's a new car or a used car. New cars, however, cannot be sold if there is a safety recall present. A general rule regarding vehicle recalls is that they have no expiration date. However, manufacturers may charge repair fees if the recalled vehicle is over ten years old.
How to Make a Claim for the Mercedes Recall
If you find that your Mercedes Benz has an open recall, you have every right to claim it. Recalls indicate that the manufacturer caused the vehicle's defects, and they should be responsible for fixing the defects.
Mercedes fixes their recalled cars by:
- Compensating vehicle owners for repair costs
- Repairing the recalled parts
- Replacing the recalled parts

The company handles all recalls, although their processes are very slow and may cost you valuable time following up before you can be compensated. With DoNotPay, you don't have to make any follow-ups or wait weeks before you can get a dealership appointment.
