What's wrong, in plain English
The high-voltage battery in some EQB 300 4MATIC and EQB 350 4MATIC vehicles can fail on the inside. This internal failure can lead to a fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven. Some vehicles that were already repaired under an earlier recall will need to be repaired again. Mercedes-Benz dealers will update the software that manages the battery, free of charge.
