Check Front Wheel Arch Cover
NHTSA Recall #21V232
May, 2021
Dear Mercedes-Benz Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year (“MY”) 2020-2021 GLB-Class vehicles. Our records indicate that your vehicle is included in the affected population of vehicles.
What is the CONCERN?
On certain MY 2020-2021 GLB-Class vehicles, the wheel arch covers on the front fenders might not have been installed correctly and according to current production specifications. As a result, the wheel arch cover could detach from the vehicle during driving, creating a road hazard which could increase the risk of a crash or injury for other road users. A driver might notice a gap between the front wheel arch cover and the body of the vehicle.
What will your DEALER DO?
An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check the front wheel arch covers and correct them, if necessary. This service will be provided free of charge. We are dedicated to always delivering the best customer experience, and respect for your time is a top priority. While the minimum repair time can be less than 30 minutes, your dealer can provide you with a better estimate of the overall time for this service visit. As a matter of normal service process, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will also check for other repair measures which might be applicable to your vehicle which may increase the required working time.
What should YOU DO?
For additional information and to schedule an appointment, please contact your preferred authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer at your earliest convenience. To locate authorized dealers see www.MBUSA.com/recall. Please mention you are scheduling an appointment to check the front wheel arch covers under Recall Campaign # 2021040015.
