Buying a used 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 4MATIC? Check these 5 recalls first
Four separate critical recalls center on the high-voltage battery — a software fix for fire risk, sudden loss of drive power, and battery failure that can burn — and all four carry park-outside guidance, though none tells owners to stop driving. A fifth, high-severity recall covers a front drive unit fault that can allow rollaway. The eight unverified owner complaints filed with NHTSA are few in number and skew to the electrical system, with no crashes, fires or injuries reported.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for proof all four battery recalls were completed, including the software update
- Confirm the front drive unit rollaway recall was performed
- Ask whether the car was parked outside while recalls were open
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mercedes-Benz dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
