Just received from BM Canada a GLC recall that the starter harness may not have been attached correctly.
This was just a recall notice as MB is working on obtaining replacement parts to remedy the issue.
Once they have the required parts they will contact me again.
I'm concerned if I should be driving the car as the notice say that there is a risk of short circuit and fire.
What do you guys think?
