NHTSA Campaign 17V078000

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

Issued by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. · Reported Feb 8, 2017 · 73 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2017 E300 and E300 4Matic vehicles. The affected vehicles may have a damaged steering column-mounted shift lever module. If the internal circuit board is damaged, moving the shift lever will not select a transmission gear.

Consequence

If the vehicle does not move forward or backward as selected by the driver with the shift lever, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering column-mounted shift lever module, free of charge. The recall began April 2017. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
