The ongoing crabbing issue and now I hear on the news a number of Mercedes Models including the GLC are being recalled after 51 fires have occurred after starting. I wonder if I can use this to reject mine, I've had enough of all this.

Global recall of 1 million Mercedes cars over fire risk 'could include 75,000 in UK'
Which says
Owners of 75,000 Mercedes cars in the UK could be affected by a global recall of several models following reports of fires, according to reports.
An issue with some starter components in cars made between 2015 and 2017 is thought to cause them to overheat.
The fire risk has prompted Mercedes owner Daimler to recall around a million vehicles worldwide, covering certain A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, E-Class and CLA cars and GLA and GLC SUVs.
There have been reports of 51 fires, with about 30 in the US.
A Mercedes spokesman told Car Dealer magazine: "There are potentially 75,000 cars in the UK which will be affected by the recall. This is a recall which is yet to be issued."
The company said a fix has been implemented in the production of new vehicles and cars already with dealers will be fixed before they are sold.
The magazine said owners will be contacted in March.
Of the million vehicles to be recalled, 307,629 are in the United States, which is 40,000 units less than Mercedes-Benz reported to U.S. regulators.
The company did not immediately have a breakdown of where vehicles will be recalled outside of the United States.
The United States is among the three biggest markets for Mercedes-Benz, the others being China and Germany.
