https://carrecalltracker.com/mercedes-benz/NHTSA vehicle safety recalls explained in plain English. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v481000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v481000/Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000A 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. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v281000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v281000/Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000In these Mercedes-Benz cars and SUVs, the infotainment computer can restart by itself while you are driving. When it does, the digital dashboard in front of the driver goes completely dark. You lose your speedometer and any warning lights, so you cannot tell how fast you are going or whether something else on the car needs attention. The dealer loads updated infotainment software at no cost to fix it. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v216000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v216000/Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000The drive shaft is the spinning bar that carries power from the engine back to the wheels. A joint in that shaft can break. If it does, the vehicle suddenly stops pulling while you are driving, which is dangerous in traffic or on the highway. Dealers will inspect the drive shaft and replace it when needed, at no cost. A first warning letter went out May 22, 2026, but the actual repair parts are not ready yet. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v198000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v198000/Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000Some 2025 G580 electric SUVs left the factory with the wrong bolts holding the wheels on. The wrong bolts may not clamp the wheel tightly, so a wheel can work loose over time and, in the worst case, come off the vehicle while you are driving. There is nothing you can see or adjust yourself. Your dealer will replace all the wheel bolts with the correct ones at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v134000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v134000/Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000A cable inside the door, called a bowden cable, may have been installed incorrectly. When it is wrong, the door cannot be opened using the inside handle. That means someone in the car could be stuck and unable to get out on their own, which Mercedes-Benz says can increase the risk of injury. A dealer will inspect the cable assembly and repair it if needed, at no cost. Owner notification letters were mailed May 1, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v073000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v073000/Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000The large battery that powers your EQB can fail inside and start a fire, either while you drive or while the car sits parked. Mercedes wants these cars parked outdoors, away from houses and other buildings, and charged only to 80 percent until the work is done. Dealers will fit a new battery free. This replaces two earlier recalls, so even if your EQB was already repaired under one of those, it needs this new fix too. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v894000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v894000/Fri, 19 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000The big battery that drives your EQB can fail inside and start a fire, whether the car is parked or moving. Until it is fixed, Mercedes says to charge the battery no higher than 80 percent, and this recall carries a park-outside warning. The dealer will update the battery's control software free of charge. If your EQB was already repaired under the earlier recall 25V050, it has to be done again. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v864000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v864000/Fri, 12 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000The center rear seat belt — the one in the middle of the back seat — is supposed to have a locking feature that holds a child car seat tightly in place. On certain 2025-2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 4MATIC vehicles, belts were installed without that feature, so a child seat buckled into the middle position can shift around instead of staying locked down. The belt still fastens normally for an adult. Dealers replace the entire center belt assembly. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v711000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v711000/Fri, 17 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000A circuit board inside the short-range radar sensor at the front of the vehicle can fail. If it does, the vehicle loses automatic emergency braking along with active brake assist, lane keeping assist, and Distronic cruise control. Your own steering and brake pedal still work normally, but those systems will not step in to help you. Dealers replace the sensor free of charge. Owner letters were mailed November 26, 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v533000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v533000/Wed, 20 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000The bolt that holds the steering connection onto the steering rack may not have been tightened properly. Over time that connection can work loose. If it separates, turning the steering wheel may no longer turn the front wheels, meaning you could lose the ability to steer the vehicle. This covers certain 2023-2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE and GLC models, including the AMG GLC 43 Coupe. Dealers will check the bolts and tighten them as needed, at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v487000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v487000/Fri, 25 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000The big battery that drives your EQB has a metal connector bar inside it. On these vehicles that bar may have been fastened with the wrong screws. If the connection fails, the vehicle can suddenly stop pulling — losing drive power with no warning, even in traffic. Mercedes-Benz is telling owners to park outside until the repair is finished. A dealer will check the high-voltage battery and replace it if needed. Notification letters went out January 9, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v379000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v379000/Fri, 06 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000On these SUVs built with a panoramic glass sunroof, the trim over the rear roof pillar — the post just behind the back side window — does not cushion enough. In certain crashes, a back seat passenger's head can strike that pillar, and the pillar does not absorb as much of the blow as federal rules require. Nothing about how the vehicle drives, brakes or steers is affected; the shortfall only matters if you are in a crash. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v366000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v366000/Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000Electric and hybrid vehicles run so quietly that they play an artificial sound outside the car to warn people nearby. A software problem makes these vehicles play an incorrect warning sound while backing up. Someone walking behind the vehicle may not realize it is reversing toward them. The vehicles do not meet the federal rule for minimum sound. Dealers will update the software at no charge — a short visit with no parts needed. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v325000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v325000/Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000On these Mercedes SUVs, the rearview mirror and the camera mounted behind the windshield may not be attached firmly enough, and either one can come loose and fall off. If the mirror falls, you lose your view of what is behind you. If the camera falls, driver-assist features that help keep you in your lane and brake for you stop working. Either situation makes a crash more likely. A dealer replaces the windshield and reinstalls the mirror and camera. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v253000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v253000/Fri, 02 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000On these Mercedes C 300 and AMG C 43 vehicles, a cover on the driver's side seat belt may not have been installed correctly on the belt tensioner. If that cover is wrong, the seat belt anchor — the point where the belt is fastened to the car — can work loose. A loose anchor means the belt may not hold you properly in a crash. Dealers will inspect the seat belt covers and repair them if needed, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v254000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v254000/Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000Some 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 550, G 580 and AMG G 63 SUVs have a software problem in the system that helps keep the vehicle from skidding or sliding. If that system stops working, the dashboard may show the wrong warning light, so you would not know the system has failed. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet federal rules for stability control and for dashboard displays. A dealer will reload the correct software into the control unit for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v135000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v135000/Fri, 28 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000On some 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, the welds holding the bracket for the parking brake cable can break. If that happens, the parking brake can let go on its own after you have set it. A van parked on any kind of slope could then roll away by itself and hit a person, another vehicle, or property. Dealers will inspect the parking brake cable bracket and repair it if needed, at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v050000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v050000/Fri, 07 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000The big battery in your electric EQB can break down internally, and that can lead to a fire while the car is parked or being driven. As a temporary precaution, Mercedes tells owners to charge only up to 80 percent of a full battery. The actual repair is a free software update for the system that manages the battery, done at the dealer. Letters went out in three batches between May and December 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v941000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v941000/Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000A bracket on the rear suspension may have been welded on badly at the factory, and it can break away from the rear axle carrier. If that happens, the back of the car can suddenly stop handling normally and you could lose control. Mercedes says do not drive the car until it is fixed. The dealer will replace the whole rear axle carrier at no charge. Letters went out to owners in January 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v930000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v930000/Fri, 13 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000Daimler Vans is recalling certain 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. The lit display behind the steering wheel, the one showing your speed, gauges and warning lights, may not dim when you adjust it, so in some lighting it stays too bright. A glaring display can make it hard to read safety information while you drive. The vans also fail a federal rule for controls and displays. Dealers will fix it with a free software update. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v780000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v780000/Fri, 18 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000The right front and right rear tires on some 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250, GLB 250 4MATIC, and GLB 35 4MATIC vehicles may have damage in the sidewall, which is the outer face of the tire between the tread and the wheel. Damaged sidewalls can let the air out all at once instead of slowly leaking. A tire that goes flat suddenly at speed can pull the vehicle to one side. The dealer inspects both tires and replaces any that are damaged, free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v659000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v659000/Mon, 09 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000Certain G 550 and G 63 AMG models had a replacement right-side rear door latch fitted during a service visit or an earlier recall repair. Parts inside that latch can stop the rear door from latching all the way. The door may look shut when it is not, and it can swing open while you are driving. The same damaged parts can also stop the rear door from being opened by someone sitting inside. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v517000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v517000/Tue, 09 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000On these Sprinter vans, the U-shaped bolts that clamp the rear axle to the leaf springs were heat-treated incorrectly at the factory, so they are weaker than they should be. If a weak bolt stretches or breaks, the rear axle can shift out of place. When that happens, the van can become unstable and the driver can lose control. A dealer will replace the U-bolts with correctly made ones, free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v445000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v445000/Fri, 14 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000A wiring connection for your transmission may not have been put together correctly, either when the car was built or during an earlier recall repair. Water can get into the connector and cause corrosion, which can lead to an electrical short. A short in that area can start a fire. Mercedes has already mailed a warning letter, but the full fix is not ready yet. Cars that had the earlier recall done still need this new repair. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v372000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v372000/Tue, 28 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000These electric Mercedes models, including the EQS SUV 580 4MATIC, run on a large high-voltage battery controlled by software. That software can shut the battery down while you are driving. If it does, the car suddenly loses power to the wheels, which can leave you slowing down in traffic with no warning and lead to a crash. Dealers will install updated battery software; nothing needs to be taken apart or replaced. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v331000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v331000/Fri, 10 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000A welded gear inside the front electric drive unit may not have been welded correctly. If that gear breaks, the vehicle can roll away on its own even when you think it is parked and secure. Because of this, the vehicle does not meet the federal safety rule covering theft protection and rollaway. Dealers will replace the entire front electric drive unit at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v100000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v100000/Fri, 09 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000These Mercedes-Benz models, including the AMG CLS53 and AMG E53, use a 48-volt electrical system. The ground cable for that system, in the engine bay, may not have been tightened down properly at the factory. A loose connection there can get very hot, and an overheating cable can start a fire under the hood. Dealers will inspect the connection and tighten or repair it free of charge, so do not put this one off. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v070000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v070000/Fri, 02 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000On these Mercedes GLC models, the headlights may have been aimed too high from the factory. Headlights pointed up throw glare into the eyes of drivers coming the other way, making it harder for them to see the road. That means the vehicles don't meet the federal rule for lights and reflectors. A dealer will check how the headlights are aimed and lower them if needed, at no charge to the owner. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v876000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v876000/Thu, 21 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000On some 2019-2023 Mercedes-Benz and 2019-2021 Freightliner Sprinter vans, bolts are missing from the partition wall — the divider between the front seats and the cargo area behind them. Without all of its bolts, the wall is not held firmly in place and could break loose in a crash and injure people up front. A dealer will look at the partition and install whatever bolts are missing, at no charge to the owner. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v874000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v874000/Thu, 21 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2020 Sprinter vans, the connection between the driveshaft bearing and the crossmember that holds it can work loose. The driveshaft is the spinning bar under the van that sends power to the rear wheels. If that mount loosens, the van can become harder to control. In a crash, the loose driveshaft could also hit and puncture the fuel tank, letting fuel leak out and raising the chance of a fire. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v880000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v880000/Thu, 21 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000The fuel pump on these Mercedes-Benz models can shut off while you are driving. The pump is what pushes gasoline to the engine, so when it stops the engine loses power. You could be left coasting in traffic or on the highway with no way to speed up or pull away. Many Mercedes-Benz models from 2021 through 2024 are covered, and dealers will put in a new fuel pump at no charge. This recall adds cars to an earlier one. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v875000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v875000/Thu, 21 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000Some 2019-2021 Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter vans left the factory without reinforcement fasteners in the long frame rails that run the length of the van. Those fasteners help hold the structure together and also help anchor the third-row seat. Without them the van is less stable on the road, and in a crash the third-row seat mounts can pull loose and hurt whoever is sitting there. A dealer inspects and repairs the frame for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v854000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v854000/Fri, 15 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000On these vehicles, the roof panel between the top of the windshield and the panoramic sunroof may not have been glued on correctly during an earlier repair at a shop. Because the bonding is weak, that front panel can work loose and separate from the car. If it comes off while you are driving, it can fly onto the road and hit or startle other drivers behind you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v445000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v445000/Mon, 26 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000The 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. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v204000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v204000/Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000When you start the van, the display behind the steering wheel — the one with the speedometer, fuel gauge and warning lights — may come up completely blank. The problem is in the software that runs that display. With a blank panel you cannot see how fast you are going, how much fuel is left, or any warning message the van is trying to show you. A dealer reloads the instrument display software, and the repair costs you nothing. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v100000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v100000/Fri, 17 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000The electrical circuit that runs the heating and air conditioning blower fan in these Sprinter vans may not be strong enough for the job. That can let the wiring for the fan get too hot, and overheated wiring can start a fire. Until the van is fixed, run the front blower only in manual mode while the engine is on, and stay off the maximum fan speed and the coldest and hottest temperature settings. Dealers move and replace the fuse and wiring free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v097000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v097000/Fri, 17 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000On some 2019-2021 Mercedes-Benz G550 and AMG G63 SUVs, a bundle of wires near the front axle can rub against the oil cooler until it wears through. Damaged wiring there can knock out the anti-lock brakes, which keep the wheels from locking up when you stop hard, and the stability control that helps the SUV stay pointed where you steer. A dealer will inspect the wiring and either add a protective cover or replace it, free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v796000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v796000/Fri, 21 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000Certain 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter vans with a manual parking brake and the 7-speed automatic transmission have a part that can wear out. A small guide bushing on the parking pawl, the piece inside the transmission that locks the wheels when you shift into Park, can fatigue. When that happens, Park may not actually hold the van, and it can roll away on its own after you park it, which increases the risk of a crash. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v733000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v733000/Fri, 30 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000The 12-volt battery in the trunk may not be bolted down tightly. In a crash it could move and break its electrical connections. If that happens, several things that help you afterward may stop working: the automatic emergency call that dials for help, the hazard flashers, the power seat controls, and the doors that unlock by themselves. The car drives normally otherwise. A dealer will secure the battery properly. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v533000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v533000/Fri, 22 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000On these Mercedes-AMG cars, the bundle of wires running to the transmission may have been routed along the wrong path. Sitting where it was not meant to sit, the electrical plug can corrode over time, and corroded wiring can short out. An electrical short can start a fire. A dealer will inspect the connector and repair it if needed, move the wiring back to the correct position, and add a bracket to hold it there, all at no cost.
