2015 Mercedes-Benz E 400 recalls
Wrong front passenger airbag may not deploy properly in a crash
Some Mercedes-Benz vehicles may have had an incorrect front passenger airbag installed during a previous repair.
Emergency call system may send wrong date, time, or location
A software fault in the emergency call system (eCall) can cause the date and time recorded for the system to differ from the actual date and time.
Passenger Airbag Inflator May Explode, Sending Metal Fragments
The passenger-side frontal airbag inflator can rupture because its propellant degrades over time after long exposure to high humidity, heat and temperature swings.
Driver Airbag May Deploy Unexpectedly, Raising Injury Risk
The driver's front airbag may deploy without warning because the steering components may not be properly grounded.
Steering assist may cut out; fire risk when parked
A steering control unit in these vehicles may have improperly soldered contacts that can lose connection.
Loose Hood Seal Can Fall Into Engine, Risking Fire
A rubber seal at the rear of the engine bay can temporarily stick to the hood when it is opened, then fall into the engine compartment when the hood is closed.

What owners report
The sub frame of this car is being replaced under a warranty extension due to severe rusting and separation creating an extremely unsafe driving condition. It was determined during inspection the rear brake lines were also corroded. This is also due to environmental exposure and substandard materials of construction. Many E classes of the W212 and prior have this concern but Mercedes is not covering the brake lines as part of this warranty. In fact they are charging up to $4000 to replace with the subframe already removed!! This is highly concerning as this is a safety concern that must be covered.

Went on a 2000 miles road trip and my blind spot monitoring systems and then my turn signals stopped working.
Purchased new 2015 MB e400 in 12/2014 MB issued a bulliten in 12/15 (1 year later) indicating that the engines may experience a problem with the timing belt harness which may cause engine failure. We have the exact same issue now at 69k miles and MB refuses to acknowledge the issue claiming i need a new engine. I cannot use the car for fear of engine failure which may cause death or serious injury
