Mercedes G-Class shows wrong stability system warning light

NHTSA campaign 25V254000 · Reported 2025-04-17 · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC

medium How serious is it? About this label

Moderately serious — you might not be warned that a safety system has failed, which raises crash risk, but the notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

Some 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.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to check whether your vehicle is included. 2. Call your Mercedes-Benz dealer or MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 (recall 2025050002) for an appointment. 3. Have the software updated — the repair is free.
