Mercedes-Benz B CLASS in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Mercedes-Benz B CLASS is named on 20 British notices and 3 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The British register
- DVSA recall R/2018/098: Mercedes-Benz GLC, A Class, C-Class and 3 more (Steering components may be insufficiently grounded)
- DVSA recall R/2018/130: Mercedes-Benz GLC, GLA, B Class and 3 more (Electrical wiring in steering assembly may be insufficiently grounded)
- DVSA recall R/2018/268: Mercedes-Benz CLA, B Class, SLC and 1 more (Doors on left vehicle side (passenger side) remain permanently lock...)
The European register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, fuses in the passenger side interior fuse box might have been installed incorrectly during assembly. This could result in one or more fuses losing electrical contact, which could affect different system functions, such as front passenger seat occupancy recognition, passenger side airbag indicator lamp, the instrument cluster and the windshield wipers. Should the front passenger seat occupancy recognition system be disabled, and the passenger side airbag indicator lamp be affected, there would be no visual warning that the passenger frontal airbag is not operating correctly. Failure of the passenger frontal airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Also, instrument cluster and windshield wiper malfunction could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the installation position and orientation of the fuses in the passenger side interior fuse box, and replace the fuse box if necessary.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2015295.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Mercedes-Benz: 477 in the register, and 620 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2015.
