MB is recalling 840K vehicles in the U.S. due to potentially faulty airbags produced by Takata.

Mercedes-Benz Recalls 841,000 Vehicles for Takata Airbags - News - Car and Driver | Car and Driver Blog

Affected vehicles include model years 2005-2014 C-class, E-class, GL, ML, and SLK. The SLS-AMG is also impacted, but I think most of us are pretty safe on that front.

Drivers of w211 diesels can now stop fighting over whether the om648 is superior to the om642 and start arguing whether either car is safe to drive.

On a serious note, the w211 has 8 airbags. Does anyone know if all airbags are part of the recall, or only the driver/passenger front airbags?

Only one way to find out
Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I believe this is because of Takata expanding their recall on airbags. Before none of the airbags affected were in Mercedes but with the latest recall by Takata, the ones that Mercedes used were included.

So how does this work exactly? Do I need to call and schedule for my 2008 E350? I can't imagine they will carry hundreds of replacement airbags on hand at every dealer?

Is this also every single E-class in that year range or does it depend?

MB hasn't distributed the recall info to the dealers yet. Sit tight and keep an eye on your mailbox. I'll post the info as soon as I get it........

I got a recall notice from MB last week for my 2009 C350. It stated that I will get another notice when parts are in stock.
