Perform SCN Coding in Various Control Modules as per DAS/Xentry

Daimler AG ('DAG'), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that certain vehicles that received a control module coding update while at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealership between December 3, 2016 and December 5, 2016, might not function as intended. Depending on which vehicle control module was improperly coded, the potential malfunctions as well as their influences on the vehicle operation are not fully known, but may include the deployment of an incorrect airbag during a crash, incorrect seatbelt recognition status, engine control module with an incorrect maximum speed limit setting, among others, and may increase the risk of injury during a crash. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the affected control modules on the affected vehicles.
