What's wrong, in plain English
Certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles have a micro-switch in the driver's door lock that can corrode. When this happens, the switch may fail to detect that the door is open, which can prevent the electronic parking brake's Auto-Park feature from engaging on its own. Without the parking brake engaging automatically, the vehicle may roll away on its own.
What you should do
Contact a Mercedes-Benz dealer at 1-800-367-6372 to schedule the door lock replacement.
The repair is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 26V481000.
