More than 52,000 MY 2006-2008 Mercedes-Benz ML and GL-Class vehicles are being recalled no thanks to a faulty trailer hitch. According to the German carmaker, some of the weld seams connecting the trailer hitch receiver to the attachment bar used to secure the trailer hitch to the body frame do not meet performance specifications. To put it simple, there’s a chance that the trailer hitch receiver could separate from the attachment bar, and that’s something you wouldn’t want to see happening. Mercedes-Benz warns the owners of the affected SUVs not to use the trailer hitch for any purpose until it has been repaired. If you have any questions, you can call Mercedes-Benz at 1-800-367-6372.
