Why it matters

A sunroof that detaches from the vehicle could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the bonding of the sunroof glass. Dealers will replace the sliding roof, if necessary.

Suspension

Transport Canada recall 2012176

11 June 2012

Transport Canada lists: E 2007–2009

What is wrong

On certain E-Class Wagons, the load levelling rear suspension could malfunction. This could trigger a continuous attempt to increase the pressure in the air bellows, which can lead to uncomfortable and stiff suspension characteristics. Ultimately, this could cause a loss of air pressure in the bellows, which could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the level control system connecting rod with an updated version.
