5 common questions answered
NHTSA recall information identifies three potential safety concerns for applicable 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vehicles. Communication-module software may send emergency responders to the wrong location after a crash. An incorrect rear-door child-safety-lock label may make the lock status confusing, increasing the risk that a child opens a door unexpectedly. A differential-locking-module resistor may also contribute to deactivation of the Electronic Stability Program and anti-lock brakes, raising crash risk. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. A free VIN check helps determine whether your vehicle has an open campaign and whether action is needed now.
