Garage List
Who is at the helm in Stuttgart? The ship seems not under command.

A long string of product disasters at MB starting with M156 head bolts and most recently with failed 48V system rollout, W223 unintended emergency braking and potential for fire as noted above.

MB is swirling the drain. To anyone considering an MB: don’t.

Perhaps I missed the info in this article that it's only Euro and diesel specific.

I looked up the first model noted in the list of the affected models and didn't see if that model was diesel-specific:
