To resolve the problem, dealers will inspect and secure the rear window trim bars, as necessary, for free. Owners will be notified Nov. 11, but those with questions can call Mercedes at 800-367-6372, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
