When you purchase a new Mercedes-Benz, you expect to be purchasing the best quality available in an automobile. For many California car buyers, this wasn’t the case, causing Mercedes-Benz to issue a recall for more than 16,000 vehicles.
The product recall has been issued after an investigation into the cars revealed the seal around the taillights in these vehicles was faulty. The inadequate seal can allow water into the taillight control unit, causing it to short circuit. This has been known to result in a car fire.
Whether the defect is caused by poor design of the product, bad manufacturing, or incorrect assembling, if a defective product injures you or your family, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your damages. A defective product can be very dangerous, and a defective car could result in serious injuries to you and your loved ones.
In this case, the recalled cars may be covered by California’s Lemon Law. This law allows car buyers who have attempted to correct their car’s problems through the dealers to receive a new vehicle or get their defective vehicle bought back from them.
