Reporting Safety Defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or
death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in
addition to notifying Mercedes-Benz of North America Inc.. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it
may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may
order a recall
and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between
you, your dealer, or Mercedes-Benz of North America Inc..
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free
at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area)
or write to:
NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.
