After a rough few years full of significant recalls, Mercedes-Benz appeared (or appears, depending on your perspective) to be getting its act together by successfully addressing its quality issues. The automaker just announced a major recall in Germany involving 130,000 vehicles windshield wiper motors that could be defective. While one recall a return to quality does not ruin, neither does it help. The recall in question only affects A- and B-Class vehicles, as well as C-Class wagons built between May 2005 and May 2006. Some may consider defective wiper motors a minor issue, but a recall by definition is significant, and in this case one could imagine a dark and stormy night where being without wipers could be deadly.

Too bad. Mine’s a 2000 C-Class. Good thing though that it wasn’t recalled by the time it was released. My wipers got busted not until a few years ago, like 2005. I bought a replacement at www.mbpartswarehouse.com. They’ve got bosch, nippondenso, and other makes there. It is still working perfectly fine.
