Daimler recalls 1 million Mercedes-Benz

Reuters reports that German carmaker Daimler AG is recalling more than 1 million Mercedes-Benz cars and sport utility vehicles globally in order to address airbag issues.

The recall affects vehicles in the United States, Britain, Canada and Germany.

The recall aims to fix a problem that can lead to the deployment of the driver side airbag,

A Mercedes-Benz spokeswoman in the United States said there had been 'a handful of instances where drivers suffered minor abrasions or bruises' due to the air bag problem.

No deaths have been reported and the issue is not related to the massive recall of Takata air bag inflators worldwide.

The recalls covers some 2012-2018 model year A, B, C, and E-Class models and CLA, GLA and GLC vehicles.
