1 million Mercedes-Benz vehicles recalled due to potential fire hazard

Mercedes-benz just recalled 1 million vehicles globally due to 51 fires. The German company said no injuries or deaths were reported relating to the vehicles that it will begin recalling in the U.S. market in July when parts become available. 

The recall affects newer models, including those from the 2017 model year.

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.
