Mercedes-Benz affected vehicles have axle bolts on the front and/or rear drive axle carriers that may not have been assembled correctly.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the axle assembly axle shaft. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles have axle bolts on the front and/or rear drive axle carriers that may not have been assembled correctly. As a result, the remaining bolts may fracture.
If any of the remaining front or rear axle bolts fracture, the vehicle may be unstable, reducing the handling capability and increasing the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the axle carrier bolts, free of charge.
