Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2008-2011 C-Class sedans and coupes, 2010-2011 GLK350 and E350 Coupe models, and 2011 SLS AMG and E-Class convertible vehicles that were originally sold or registered in specific regions. The recalled vehicles have passenger frontal air bag inflator modules that may rupture during deployment due to propellant degradation from exposure to humidity and temperature changes, potentially sending metal fragments toward occupants and causing serious injury or death.
Owners of affected vehicles were sent an interim notification in October 2016 and will receive a second notice when replacement parts become available. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag modules at no cost to owners. Owners should contact Mercedes-Benz USA customer service at 1-877-496-3691 to confirm whether their vehicle is affected and to arrange service once parts are available.

Additionally, unless included in "Zone A" above, MBUSA is recalling certain model year 2008 C300 Sedan, C350 Sedan, C63 AMG Sedan and C300 4-Matic Sedan vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, or "Zone B."

These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front air bags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
