i ma sure the 800k is not just Germany alone, worldwide merc population is likely 4-5times more of 4.5mil, that will bring it to under 5%.

more like anything happened before recall, you are using at your own risk.

can only be petrol variant, since diesel vehicles hard to catch fire due to coolant issue.

Edit: seen like I’m wrong. Usually pple getting Diesel variant for their mileage and perceived safest over petrol model.
