Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
If the charging cable is incorrectly detected and the vehicle is stopped or moving at a very slow speed, the vehicle may unexpectedly shift to park, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the onboard charger, free of charge. The recall began on January 27, 2016. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
