What is this? Mercedes-Benz cars may have wheel bolts that were not tightened properly. This means the wheels could come loose while driving.

What's happening? The bolts holding the wheels might not be tight enough. If they come off, the wheel could fall off while the car is moving.

Does this affect me? This affects certain Mercedes-Benz models in Germany. If you own one of these cars, check your wheels.

What should I do? Take your car to a Mercedes-Benz dealer right away. Do not drive it until a mechanic checks the wheel bolts. Ask your dealer or doctor if you feel unsafe.
