Mercedes recalls 130,000 vehicles in Germany

FRANKFURT, Jan 2, 2007; Reuters reported that car maker DaimlerChrysler's premium Mercedes arm said on Tuesday it would recall almost 130,000 vehicles in Germany due to possible problems with windscreen wipers.

A spokesman said Mercedes models of the A and B-Class as well as estate cars of the C-Class made between May 2005 and May 2006 were affected.

He added a switch would be removed on these cars due to a possible lack of insulation
