Mercedes-Benz is recalling 2019 E450 and E63S Wagons because the tailgate spoiler may detach while driving, creating a road hazard.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (spoiler detachment) that creates a risk of crash, but the source text does not report any injuries, deaths, or specific incident history, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
