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.
