Mercedes-Benz seams on the rear crossmember may have been insufficiently welded.
The short version
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. reported a problem with the structure frame and members. Here is what owners need to know.
The seams on the rear crossmember may have been insufficiently welded. This may allow cracks to form when towing, possibly causing the rear crossmember to detach from the vehicle.
If the rear crossmember detaches from the vehicle, it can become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear crossmember, free of charge.
