Sh!t that was a long list.

Next, 269 B-, CLA- and GLA-Class cars from the 2015 model year might have improperly welded camshafts that could break and damage the engine. Transport Canada says Benz dealers will “replace the potentially-affected” camshafts.

...and ^^ that can't be cheap.

Eff it.  I'm building the "it"



Update:
NHTSA has issued a recall of the "it" relating to a possible failure of the rear control assembly to shut off, potentially causing continued stimulation after its occupant has arrived at his/her destination.

Welded camshafts?   WTF??  Usually they are cast or made from billet and then machined, no?

And No-san, it is a fair bit of labour to replace a camshaft.  Timing chain / belt has to come off along with the valve cover.  Some seals and gaskets would have to be replaced as well.  I'd bet it's about an 8 hour job on these cars.
