I take both mats will need to be replaced on that one then?
What does it cost for the front one then?

What year was it performed

2018 or 2019. I can’t remember. It’s my understanding that recalls have no time limit on getting the dealer to perform the work, but there is a statute of limitations to their responsibilities should an owner delay completion. If the manufacturer has informed an owner of a potential problem, but the owner does not respond, the manufacturer’s liability is limited and you might not be able to make a claim on your now barbecued 451.

Here’s a tool for checking the recall status using the car’s VIN.

Interesting…

Here’s the link for cars.com showing recalls for smarts.

It’s very concerning that the government doesn’t have accurate records on recalls…. But it doesn’t surprise me. Shocking incompetence is becoming commonplace.

I’ve went four years of owning a 09 Mazda rx8 knowing of the recall on the fuel pump rings recall(they also added a insulation mat along one end of the tank for the rx8) but didn’t get the recall notice till here lately(it didn’t even show up in the sites to check when I ran the vin of the car)
The recall was because the rings could crack and cause the tank to leak fuel and catch on fire(trying to drive knowing in the back of your head that you could lose your car due to fire is quite scary to say the leaat)
That’s why I want to check the smarts well before Mercedes decides to wait to send out a notice of the recall.
