Mercedes-Benz CLS recalled

Mercedes-Benz is recalling a handful of CLS four-door coupes as there’s a fault with one of their safety systems.

“Due to a software issue with the airbag control unit, the pedestrian detection sensor may not function as intended,” the company says in its recall notice.

“In the event of an accident, if the pedestrian detection pop-up bonnet feature does not operate as intended it could increase the risk of injury or death to pedestrians.”
