Uh oh. If you’re the owner of a 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic Wagon, prepare for a recall notice from Mercedes. While it won’t be coming until later in the summer, know that if your car was built between July 1, 2006, and April 30, 2009, its load-leveling suspension may be faulty.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall report, a connecting rod in the rear suspension could fail, which may cause “reduced vehicle control,” leading to a crash. NHTSA did not specify whether any actual cases involving loss of control have been reported.
Mercedes dealers will be inspecting and replacing the potentially defective part beginning in August, and the company can be reached at 201-573-0350.
