6 recalls covering model years 2021. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The fuel pump in these Mercedes-AMG models may shut down on its own while the vehicle is being driven. When the pump shuts down, the engine no longer gets fuel, and the vehicle loses the power that keeps it moving. Mercedes-Benz dealers will replace the fuel pump at no charge to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed June 14, 2024, and owners can contact Mercedes-Benz customer service to schedule the free repair.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling a wide range of its cars and SUVs, including many AMG models. A software error on the SIM card inside the vehicle's communication module can cause the car to lose its mobile network connection. When that happens, the emergency call system is disabled. That is the system an occupant uses to reach an emergency services call center. The software will be updated either over the air or by a dealer, free of charge.
A software error can cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the screen when backing up in some Mercedes-Benz AMG models. Without the camera picture, the driver has less view of what's behind the vehicle while reversing.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2021 C300, C43 AMG, C63 AMG, C63 AMG S, E450 and E53 AMG Cabriolet convertibles. The headrests on the rear seats may not be attached to the seatbacks the right way. Dealers will inspect the guide bushings in the rear seatbacks and replace them if they are needed. Owner notification letters were mailed in July 2021, and the work is done at no charge to the owner.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2021 C-Class, E-Class, E-Class Coupe and Convertible, GLC, CLS, AMG GT 4-door Coupe and G-Class vehicles. A faulty electrical contact inside the seat position switch may keep the driver and passenger airbags and the seat belt force limiters from working properly during a crash. The notice points owners to the Mercedes-Benz recall report for the exact list of models covered. The fix is to replace the seat position switches.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling a wide range of cars and SUVs, including C-Class, E-Class, GLA-Class, GLC-Class and AMG models. The way the software in the car's communication module was designed means the automatic emergency call system may not report the correct vehicle location if the car is in a crash. A dealer will update that software, or the update can be delivered over the air, at no cost to the owner.
