The problem

The risk
Either a blank instrument cluster display or an engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will seal the vehicle body in the wheel well area and inspect the front foot wells for water intrusion, repairing as necessary, free of charge.
