Known issues on the 1992 300TE. NHTSA's records list one recall against the 1992 W124-chassis models. Certain cars on that chassis have a metal footrest on the passenger side that could abrade the wiring below it until it shorted, possibly overheating the wires, stalling the engine or deploying an air bag unexpectedly; dealers added fastener ties and edge protection. The 1992 300TE has one owner complaint, about the power train, and the 1992 W124-chassis models one about seats. For the wagon, the manual supplies harness routing diagrams alongside power train procedures.
