Consequence

If the drive shaft separates, the vehicle will stall, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the bolt fasteners, tightening them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in mid-November 2015. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
