Recalls: check by VIN

NHTSA files recalls for the Mercedes Benz E300 under individual trim or body names rather than "E300", so we can't match them automatically. Enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the definitive list. The owner complaints below are matched correctly.

I HAVE A 2001 325I BMW. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS GET SO HOT THAT THEY MELT THE TAIL LIGHT BULB HOLDER AND WIRING. THIS CAUSES A BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE.*AK ON THE NEXT PAGES OF THIS FORM IT ASK FOR A VEHICLE MANUF - I COULD NOT FIND BMW TO CLICK ON SO I CLICKED ON THE MERCEDES . IT WOULD NOT LET ME GO ON UNTIL I CLICKED ON A MAKERS NAME.

THERE WAS NO REASON WHY THEY DEPLOYED BUT THE SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME AND NEARLY CAUSE ME TO CRASH THE CAR INTO OTHER VEHICALS. THIS IS A REAL HAZARD THAT MUST BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED. PLEASE HELP!!!*AK
