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.
Certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles have a micro-switch in the driver's door lock that can corrode. When this happens, the switch may fail to detect that the door is open, which can prevent the electronic parking brake's Auto-Park feature from engaging on its own. Without the parking brake engaging automatically, the vehicle may roll away on its own.
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.
A software problem in these vehicles' MBUX multimedia system can cause the display screen to stay black, or to reboot after the vehicle starts up. Because the rearview camera image appears on this same display, the software problem can also stop the rearview camera picture from showing properly when the driver is backing up. This means the vehicle's rear visibility system may not work the way it is supposed to.
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.
