August 2022 Injury

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.
