Details

What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2016-2017 E300 and 2017 E300 4matic vehicles. The affected vehicles have a roof mounted spoiler that may not be properly attached and thus may detach while driving.

Why it matters: If the roof-mounted spoiler detaches while driving, it can become a road hazard, increasing a risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the roof spoilers, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began June 9, 2017.
