Recall Alert: 2012-13 Mercedes-Benz M-Class

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 8,675 model-year 2012 and 2013 versions of the M-Class SUV equipped with accessory all-season floormats because of a lack of clearance between the mat and the gas pedal, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In the affected vehicles, the floormats may not fully conform to the floor of the vehicle and could trap the gas pedal. This could lead to unintended acceleration and a crash. According to Mercedes-Benz, applying the brakes steadily will stop the vehicle.  The automaker will notify owners starting next month, and dealers will replace the mats free of charge. Owners can call Mercedes-Benz at 800-367-6372 or NHTSA's vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
