2018–2020 Mercedes-Benz X CLASS
This recall replaces and extends PRA2019/17596 (campaign RC2672). The X Class operator's manual contains an incorrect maximum roof loading. Roof loading may be from roof-top tents etc. The loading in the operator's manual is for the vehicle when stationary. However, a moving vehicle experiences additional pressure on the roof from a load and therefore the maximum safe loading should be less.
