Mercedes-Benz GLB

Issue: 
On one vehicle, the inner sidewall of the passenger-side tires may have been damaged during production. Over time, the sidewall could fail and cause a sudden loss of air pressure. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify the owner by mail and advise them to take their vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the affected tires.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the vehicle type printed on the compliance label is incorrect. The vehicle type should be "MPV/VTUM" instead of "PC/VT". Canadian regulations require the vehicle type to be identified on the compliance label.  

Safety Risk: 
This small error does not affect safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. Mercedes-Benz has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have the correct vehicle type printed on the compliance label.

Issue:

Safety Risk: 
This small error does not affect safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. Mercedes-Benz has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles have the correct vehicle type printed on the compliance label.

Issue: 
On a small number of vehicles, the electronic stability program (ESP) control unit may have been damaged during assembly. As a result, water could leak into the control unit and cause a short circuit. If this happens, the vehicle stability control and antilock brake system (ABS) could turn off. 

Safety Risk: 
A short circuit could create the risk of a fire. A loss of vehicle stability control and/or ABS could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the ESP control unit.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles equipped with the emergency calling (eCall) system, the SIM card for the communications module could disable itself. If this happens, the eCall system would not work properly when there is a crash or when the SOS button is pressed. 

Safety Risk: 
If the eCall system does not work in an emergency situation, there could be a delay in response from emergency services. 

Corrective Actions: 
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to each vehicle. If the update cannot be completed successfully, you will be notified to schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer.
