Mercedes is recalling 499 E-Class coupes for side curtain airbags that may deflate too quickly, according to filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.The passenger side curtain airbag on some 2012 models has faulty stitching in its seam, which could open during the bag's high-pressure inflation when under high ambient temperatures. As a result, the curtain -- which is supposed to remain inflated for a much longer time than the front airbags -- may not provide enough head protection.
Only E-Class coupes built between April 2 and June 29 are affected. Mercedes says the driver's side curtain airbag inflates in a different manner that does not stress the seam. Dealers will replace the passenger side curtain airbag starting in November, and affected owners can contact Mercedes at 1-800-367-6372.
Maserati is recalling 485 cars over its entire lineup to replace a tire-pressure monitoring system that can malfunction and fail to inform the driver of a leaking tire. The 2012 Quattroporte sedan and all 2012 GranTurismo models (shown at right) are included. Dealers will replace the system in November, and affected owners can contact Maserati at 1-201-816-2600.[Source: NHTSA]
