&quot;Mercedes-Benz is recalling more than one million cars over a safety defect with the cars&#x27; emergency call system.<p>&quot;The problem is with the cars&#x27; eCall feature, which alerts emergency services of an accident and relays a vehicle&#x27;s location to them.<p>&quot;But a fault means it is possible that the wrong location could be sent.&quot;<p>Jeez. More than one million cars in the United States alone have been affected by this. Mercedes says it&#x27;s planning recalls in other countries also.
