Details

What's wrong: A connecting rod for the load leveling rear suspension system may fail.

Why it matters: If this occurs, the driver may have reduced vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mercedes-benz will notify owners, and dealers will replace all the connecting rods, free of charge. The safety recall began on September 7, 2012.
