Reported 2023-06-26 · Campaign 23V445000 · Model years: 2021
The fuel pump pushes gasoline from the tank to the engine. On these Mercedes-Benz models the pump can shut down on its own. When that happens the engine stops getting fuel and the vehicle loses drive power. Mercedes-Benz dealers replace the fuel pump free of charge. The recall covers a wide range of models — C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CLS, SL, GT, GLC, GLE, GLS and G-Class — so check your own VIN rather than guessing from the model name. Letters were mailed June 14, 2024.
Reported 2022-05-20 · Campaign 22V365000 · Model years: 2021
These Mercedes vehicles have a built-in emergency call system that connects the people inside to an emergency call center. A software fault on the SIM card in the car's communication unit can stop the car from connecting to the mobile network, and that shuts the emergency call feature down. You would not know until you needed it, and help could be delayed. The car otherwise drives normally. The fix is a software update, sent to the car over the air or done by a dealer.
Reported 2022-04-08 · Campaign 22V232000 · Model years: 2021
A software error can keep the backup camera from showing its picture on the dashboard screen when you shift into reverse. Instead of the view behind the vehicle, the screen may show nothing at all. Because of this, these Mercedes-Benz vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility requirement. Dealers will update the rearview camera software free of charge. It is a software fix, so no new parts are needed and the visit should be short.
Reported 2021-05-28 · Campaign 21V406000 · Model years: 2021
The rear headrests in these convertibles may not have been attached to the seatbacks correctly at the factory. The guide bushings that hold a headrest in place can be wrong or poorly assembled, so a headrest could shift out of position or come off the seat during a crash, which is exactly when a back-seat passenger needs it most. A dealer will inspect the rear seatback guide bushings and replace them if necessary, at no cost to you.
Reported 2021-04-01 · Campaign 21V230000 · Model years: 2021
A small electrical switch that tells the car where the front seat is sitting may have a bad connection inside. If that connection fails, the driver and passenger airbags, and the seat belt parts that soften the belt's pull on your chest, may not work the way they should in a crash. The car drives normally, so you would have no way to notice the fault until a crash happens. Dealers replace the seat position switches at no charge.
Reported 2021-02-05 · Campaign 21V058000 · Model years: 2021
These Mercedes-Benz vehicles have a built-in system that automatically calls for help after a crash. Because of a software flaw in the car's communication unit, that call may send the wrong location. Emergency crews could then be sent to the wrong place, delaying help for you or your passengers. The car itself drives normally; only the emergency call feature is affected. The fix is updated software, installed by a dealer or sent to your car over the air.
