Mercedes Recalls V12 G-Wagens For Unsafe Reverse Speeds

For a recall that affects only 20 vehicles globally, this one is certainly one owners will want to address immediately. At Auto Collision Center here in Hayward, CA we certainly understand the importance of getting recalls taken care of as quickly as possible. That being said, this one is unique. 

There is a module written into the engine control software that limits the reverse speed of a vehicle. Unchecked reverse speeds could be potentially hazardous. Actually, driving in reverse at a high rate of speed is a recipe for tragedy. Now, what if you failed to implement that software inhibitor in a 6 liter, 621 HP vehicle that can become unstable in reverse over speeds of 16 MPH? Mercedes believes that it can easily lead to a rollover situation. 

If you happen to own one of the twenty G-Wagens, you certainly have great taste in performance vehicles.

At just over $220,000, it is a solid machine. That being said, it's very important that you get to the dealership fast to address this!
