Somewhere in the US exists a Mercerdes Maybach S-Calss that costs 185,000 USD but is no different from a paperweight. That’s because Mercedes has warned owners not to drive it until the recall is complete. A poor weld can cause the rear axle carrier to completely detach from the suspension swingarm.
In the information about the recall, Mercedes states that “the vehicle may wobble during movement. In addition, the vehicle may suddenly pull over to the side of the road in the event of sudden braking. In that case, the possibility is that the vehicle may pull over. vehicle control will be impaired, increasing the risk of an accident.”
Hearing this information, the owner of that Mercedes Maybach S-Class car would not dare to go out on the street even if he had given more money. Fortunately, this mistake was discovered before any accidents or injuries occurred.
In addition to this unlucky Maybach S-Class, 10 other S-Class models are also affected by the recall. The notice makes no mention of vehicles sold outside of the United States.
In January of this year, a customer outside the US reported driving noises and unstable driving sensations. Then in March, another similar complaint was discovered. After an internal investigation, Mercedes-Benz realized that a potential safety hazard could not be ruled out and decided to recall these vehicles.
The manufacturer has committed to providing all 11 affected customers with a vehicle on loan during the time of the recall of their S-Class. Upon arrival at the dealer, technicians will inspect the subframe weld on the rear axle box and replace it if necessary.
Although there are no concrete images of this part, the rear axle transport on the Mercedes S-Class certainly doesn’t come cheap. It connects the drive shaft, suspension, and brake components to the chassis and body.
