Roman GłogulskiMercedes-Benz Recall: Luxury car manufacturers Mercedes-Benz have announced a recall affecting certain models of both imported and domestically produced vehicles. The recall, prompted by incorrect communication module installations, impacts around 4,000 imported C-Class, CLS, E-Class, and AMG GT cars produced between July 25, 2019, and March 20, 2023, as well as 160 domestically produced C-Class and E-Class vehicles produced from September 20, 2019, to August 14, 2021. The flawed communication modules may lead to inaccurate positioning information when initiating emergency calls, potentially causing rescue delays and safety risks in the event of accidents. Mercedes-Benz has pledged to replace the faulty modules free of charge through authorized dealers to eliminate these safety hazards. Affected owners will be notified via registered mail, and can also contact the customer service hotline for further assistance.
Porsche Recall: Meanwhile, luxury sports car manufacturer Porsche has issued a recall for a limited number of imported Carrera GT series cars produced between December 18, 2004, and December 1, 2005. This recall stems from concerns over insufficient corrosion resistance in the materials used for the front and rear axle control arms, which may lead to cracking or fracturing over time, compromising vehicle handling and increasing the risk of collisions. Porsche will replace the affected control arms at no cost through authorized dealers to address these safety issues. Owners will receive notifications via registered mail, and Porsche dealers will proactively reach out to schedule the necessary free repairs.
