    Reading Time:less than a minute

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, originally published a notice on March 3, 2025, regarding a petition filed by Mercedes-Benz. This notice, granting a decision of inconsequential noncompliance, was published in error and has now been withdrawn. NHTSA plans to release a corrected notice soon to address Mercedes-Benz's petition correctly.

    Simple Explanation

    Mercedes-Benz asked for something, and the transportation people said okay by mistake, so they are taking it back to look at it properly and fix what they said.

  • 2025-01351 — Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 7238
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has denied a petition from Mr. Sergio Betancourt to investigate claims of "wrong-sized wrist pins" in certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles. After reviewing technical data and complaints, the NHTSA concluded there was not enough evidence linking wrist pin issues to significant engine failures or threats to vehicle safety. As a result, they have decided that no further investigation is warranted at this time, but the agency will continue to monitor any new developments.

    Simple Explanation

    The government checked to see if there was a problem with certain parts in some cars and decided there's no need to look into it more because there wasn't enough proof of danger.

  • 2025-03387 — Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC, Grant of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 11089
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    Mercedes-Benz discovered that some of their 2019-2020 model vehicles have brake warning lights that are slightly smaller than required by safety standards. After filing a report, they asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to decide if this issue is minor and doesn't affect safety. NHTSA agreed with Mercedes-Benz, stating that the smaller size of the warning lights doesn't significantly impact safety, as they are still visible and correctly convey their message. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz does not need to alert customers or fix the issue for free.

    Simple Explanation

    Mercedes-Benz had some cars where the brake warning lights were a little small, but the people in charge checked and decided it's not a big deal because you can still see the lights clearly. So, Mercedes-Benz doesn't have to tell car owners or fix the small lights for free.
