NHTSA recall 17V713000
Forward Collision Avoidance, Vehicle Speed Control · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: A malfunction of the electronic stability program (esp), while distronic plus is engaged, may cause the engine to not reduce power, regardless of the vehicle's speed, driving situation or brake application.
Why it matters: Increased braking effort and/or shifting to neutral would be needed to stop the vehicle, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the esp control unit software, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2017.
