The short answer is NO.
I have been told several times by the NHTSA that time does not insulate (small pun) Mercedes, or any auto manufacturer, from being forced to issue a recall if the NHTSA mandates it as being necessary.
Witness the recalls of millions of older Ford and Toyota vehicles issued just last month. In Ford's case, there were many fires. In Toyota's, just seven confirmed cases. Certainly much less than problems we are suffering with the MB wiring harness issue.
