Issue:
On certain vehicles, the front wheel wells may not be properly sealed. As a result, water can enter the vehicle and cause damage to the electronics. If this happens, the electronics may not work properly, the instrument cluster may not show any information, and the engine could stall.
Note: This problem could cause damp carpets in the front foot wells and fogged windows.Safety Risk:
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. An instrument cluster that does not display information about vehicle systems could also increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Action:
Mercedes-Benz will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the foot wells and repair any leaks. The dealer will also perform additional repairs that are necessary.

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 658 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2021.
