Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler Recall Over 150,000 Vehicles for Safety Issues

The recalls, including more than 116,000 Mercedes vehicles for fire risk, are part of a larger trend of safety concerns in the auto industry.

Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler are recalling over 150,000 vehicles due to various safety issues, with Mercedes recalling more than 116,000 vehicles over a fire risk.
The Mercedes recall is prompted by a loose 48-volt ground connection under the passenger seat, which could cause overheating and increase the risk of fire.
Chrysler is recalling more than 38,100 vehicles in the U.S. due to driver's side airbags that may not deploy, posing an increased risk of injury in a crash.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by May and can have the defects inspected and repaired free of charge at authorized dealers.
This series of recalls adds to the over 1 million cars already recalled by automakers in March, highlighting ongoing safety concerns in the industry.
