Mercedes-Benz recalls multiple models due to steering and airbag hazards

Motor Distributors Limited is conducting a voluntary recall of various Mercedes-Benz models due to identified safety concerns. One issue involves certain C Class vehicles where the steering coupling may not meet specifications, potentially leading to a loss of steering control. This affects 51 vehicles produced between March 2, 2022, and July 23, 2025, in the Republic of Ireland.

Additionally, there is a recall for the Viano and Vito models due to a defect in the driver airbag inflator, which could cause uncontrolled inflation and release metal fragments upon deployment. This recall affects 1,870 vehicles manufactured between December 3, 2002, and February 24, 2006.

Another recall involves several models, including C-Class, E-Class, and GLC, where improperly reworked fuse boxes could lead to system failures, increasing the risk of accidents and potential fire hazards. This affects 6 vehicles produced between January 31, 2023, and October 17, 2023.

Lastly, the EQE model is recalled due to wheel cover fixings that may not withstand driving strain, posing a risk of detachment. There is also a recall for a GLC vehicle where dashboard bolts may not be tightened correctly, affecting airbag deployment and increasing injury risk. Consumers are advised to contact Motor Distributors Limited to confirm if their vehicle is affected and to arrange necessary repairs.
