5 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.
A small switch inside the driver's door lock can corrode over time and stop sensing when the door is opened. That switch is what tells the car to set the electronic parking brake, or Auto-Park, automatically when you get out. If the switch fails, the parking brake may never come on, and the vehicle can roll away by itself after you step out. The dealer replaces the driver's door lock free of charge.
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.
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.
Certain Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG models have a software problem in the MBUX multimedia system. The center display can stay black or restart itself after you start the car. When that happens, the backup camera picture may not appear correctly when you shift into reverse, so you cannot see what is behind you on the screen. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility rule. A software update fixes it at no charge.
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.
