Mercedes-Benz will recall almost 1.3 million vehicles in the U.S. due to a problem with their eCall emergency contact system â which could send emergency services to the wrong location.
In the event of a severe accident, medical episode, or other such incident, Mercedes-Benz' eCall feature is designed to notify emergency services of relevant information so they can attend to the scene more quickly. Either triggered automatically or activated by a button, eCall shares information such as the number of people in the car, the direction in which it was travelling, and its GPS location.
