What's wrong

Why it matters
Disabled safety features or the inability to shift gears can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Dealers will inspect and reinstall the cover for the electrical connector, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 13, 2022. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. MBUSA's number for this recall is 2022040006.
