Does anyone have info on MB recent recall ?
 

I just today (3-31-05) hear a TV news report that there was a major recall of MB vehicles. I did not get to hear any details as I had to take a phone call (interuption).

Anyone have the details of what car, model, years, and what the defect was---corrections to be made ?

Thanks,

Daniel, you really should use the Internet's great resources, such as its search engines. Here's what you get if you do "Mercedes recall" on Google:

FRANKFURT, Germany -- DaimlerChrysler AG said Thursday it is recalling some 1.3 million Mercedes-Benz models worldwide to fix a problem with alternators and batteries.

In a statement, the German-U.S. auto maker said the models in years from 2001 to 2004 and include current E-, SL- and CLS-class models that have been built since 2001.

The Stuttgart-based company said that models with six- and eight-cylinder engines need to have the voltage regulator examined and, if needed, replaced.

On the E-class and CLS-class models, built from January 2002-January 2005, battery control software will be installed. The company also said the braking system on the E, SL and CLS-class made since June 2001 would be updated.

The company has set up a hot line for European customers at +800-1-777-7777."
