Safety Recalls of Mercedes Benz S550 Vehicles

If the door appears to be locked, the door may be unintentionally opened, increasing the risk of injury.

If the power steering assist is unexpectedly disabled, it may increase the risk of a crash.

If the front seat seatbelt pretensioners do not function properly, the seat occupants may not be adequately restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

If the air bags do not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, there would be an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

If the control unit pins lose connection, there would be a loss of electric power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash. The increase in pin contact resistance can also increase the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and ignition is off.

In the event of a crash, if the seat belt extender does not retract and/or the extender breaks, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing their risk of injury.

If the low-beam headlights are out of adjustment, the driver's visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

If the seat belt anchor comes loose, in the event of a crash, the occupant may not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury.

If the fuel filter flange cracks, it will leak fuel which may lead to a fire if an external ignition source is present.

If all four wheel sensors in the subject vehicles are simultaneously malfunctioning or missing, the tpms will provide an initial warning, but this warning will not automatically repeat on subsequent ignition cycles, failing to remind the driver that the system is offline. Driving unknowingly with incorrectly inflated tires may result in sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
