Known issues on the 1999 C43 AMG. One recall was filed by NHTSA against the 1999 C-Class line. It covered certain vehicles equipped with Hoppecke batteries, where the maintenance interval could let the electrolyte drop far enough to damage the internal grids and create a risk of sparking or explosion. Dealers checked battery condition and fluid level. Four complaints lodged against the 1999 C-Class line mention the electrical system, the air bags and the suspension. Battery and charging circuits, restraint diagnostics and suspension specifications are all covered in the manual.
