Known issues on the 2009 SLK300. NHTSA filed one recall against the wider 2009 SLK-Class line. It covered certain vehicles that had received incorrect software calibration coding during a workshop visit, which could stop the fuel pump from getting the crash signal it needs to shut off fuel delivery after an impact; dealers recoded the software.
