    STEERING COLUMN SWITCH MODULE MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE

    Defect

    It has been identified that the lever used to select the drive range on the steering column switch module may become inoperative due to possible damage of a circuit board. In the event of this fault occurs then manual selection of the drive range (D R N P) would no longer be possible. The Auto-P function as well as the automatic parking brake will still be available as intended. During manoeuvring the vehicle may not change the drive range as intended by the driver when operating the selector lever during standstill. This could result in an increased risk of a collision/accident.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to replace the steering column switch module.

    FRONT AIRBAG MAY BE DEACTIVATED

    Defect

    It has been identified that the front passenger seat occupancy weight sensing system control unit may have bee incorrectly installed during assembly. If the passenger seat is placed in the rear/lower position range then it can cause the pressure hose to become kinked which will reclassify the occupant as being a child seat. This will result in the front passenger airbag being deactivated and place the occupant at a higher risk of injury if the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to inspect the pressure pipe. If found to be kinked then the dealer is to contact MB Technical Department to establish the rectification process.
