2016 MERCEDES-BENZ SLK300
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2016 SLK300 vehicles manufactured between June 2, 2015 and July 14, 2015 that are equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission. These vehicles have a defective backup power supply connection for the ignition switch. If the main vehicle battery loses power while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission cannot be shifted to Park and the electric parking brake cannot be applied, leaving the brake pedal as the only way to prevent the vehicle from moving.
This creates a safety hazard because when a driver attempts to exit the vehicle, it may roll, potentially causing injury. MBUSA will notify owners, and authorized dealers will correct the ignition switch wiring and perform a software update at no charge. The recall began on May 9, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372.
