I purchased a vehicle on July 9, 2022 and was led to believe that there were no issues with the car since it had gone through a litany of inspections and was a certified pre owned vehicle of Mercedes Benz. I have tried to list car on platform and receive this error message on 7/10/22 We’ve turned up an open safety recall you’ll need to address before you can finish listing on Turo. These issues are fixed free of charge by your vehicle’s manufacturer. Active safety recalls: • Recall - Safety Title/ Topic: SIM Card Communication Module MY: 2017-2022 Model(s): Various models (NHTSA #22V365) Please keep in mind that it could take up to 30 days for your manufacturer to register fixed recalls with NHTSA. You can finish your listing once fixes are registered. How can I rectify this issue. Thank you for you attention in this matter.
