Reporting Safety Defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or

could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying

Mercedes-Benz of North America Inc.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and

if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a

recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved

in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Mercedes-Benz of

North America Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-

424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S.

Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other

information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.
