Last Friday, Transport Canada published a safety recall on 4,296 Mercedes-Benz M-Class vehicles from the 2011 and 2012 model years.

The all-season floor mats may interfere with the throttle when the pedal is fully depressed, causing a delayed retraction. This could result in the vehicle not decelerating as expected when drivers lift their foot from the throttle. A crash may ensue.

Owners are advised to take their vehicle to a Mercedes-Benz dealership where the all-season floor mats will be replaced with an updated design.
