How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 12 times before this, most recently in February 2023 as 23V074000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
