Takata Recall at Mercedes-Benz

Takata recalls affect the Vito/Viano, Sprinter, E-Class and SLS AMG. KBA recall 17121R for the S-Class (series 223), by contrast, concerns the brake hoses and is not a Takata recall; it is deliberately not listed here. For the Vito/Viano (series 639), 15198R only applies to vehicles whose driver airbag was replaced during a workshop visit.
