Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
Mercedes-Benz dealerships will replace the faulty fuel pumps, free of charge. The automaker already recalled 143,000 cars and SUVs for a similar issue earlier this year.
There have been nearly 4,000 warranty claims and no crashes or injuries related to this issue, according to documents the automaker provided to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
