With recall woes continuing to hit the Indian auto market, the latest to join the list is the C-Class sedan of Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz has started notifying its customers to take back the affected C-Class sedan to its workshops to fix a problem with the airbags.

It is not clear if the recalled models are any particular variants of the C-Class and going by the reports, the recall includes models manufactured between 2008 and 2009.
