MERCEDES BENZ E-CLASS ( 01/07/2016 – 31/07/2016) DEFECT: It has been identified that the lever used to select the drive range on the steering column switch module may become inoperative due to possible damage of a circuit board. In the event of this fault occurs then manual selection of the drive range (D R N P) would no longer be possible. The Auto-P function as well as the automatic parking brake will still be available as intended. During manoeuvring the vehicle may not change the drive range as intended by the driver when operating the selector lever during standstill. This could result in an increased risk of a collision/accident.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the steering column switch module.
