Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling approximately 24,092 vehicles across several 2018-2020 model lines, including various E-Class and S-Class configurations. The drive shaft universal joint in these vehicles may break, which can cause a sudden and complete loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion. Dealers will inspect the drive shaft and replace it if necessary at no cost to owners.
If the drive shaft universal joint breaks, the vehicle will lose the ability to move under its own power, which significantly increases the risk of a crash, especially if it occurs at high speeds or in heavy traffic.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
