Mercedes-Benz S CLASS in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Mercedes-Benz S CLASS is named on 5 American notices, 3 British and 4 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
The European register

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, a software problem could prevent the Active Lane Keeping Assist system from working properly. When travelling at speeds of over 100 km/h, while the driver would be alerted of an unintended lane departure, the system may not help to safely bring the vehicle back in to its lane. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the multipurpose camera software.
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 2018493.

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 704 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2018.
