Structure
2026-07-24 · campaign 2026-364
Issue:
On certain vehicles, moisture could enter the driver-side door lock microswitch and cause it to corrode. As a result, the microswitch may fail to automatically engage the parking brake and/or the auto park feature when the door is opened. If this happens, the vehicle could roll away.
Note: This problem could also cause the radio and/or interior lights to remain on after exiting the vehicle.
Safety Risk:
A parked vehicle that rolls away could create the risk of an injury or a crash.
Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you should always use the parking brake when you park. Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver-side door lock.
Over-the-air fixOther
2022-05-20 · campaign 2022-263

Corrective Actions:
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.
Steering
2021-12-17 · campaign 2021-772

Safety Risk:
A loss of steering control could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the front subframe (integral carrier) and replace it, if necessary.

Over-the-air fixElectrical
2021-02-12 · campaign 2021-064
Issue:
On certain vehicles equipped with the emergency calling (eCall) system, the communications module may temporarily lose power during a crash.

Safety Risk:

Lights and instruments
2020-10-23 · campaign 2020-507
Issue:
Certain vehicles may not display the correct warning indicator when there is a problem with the brake system. As a result, the brake system malfunction indicator lamp ("BRAKE") might be displayed instead of the required indicator lamp ("(!)"). Canadian regulations require the use of a symbol, instead of text.
Safety Risk:
This small error does not affect the function of the brake system or the accuracy of the information displayed.
Corrective Actions:
This is not a recall. Mercedes Benz has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles display the correct brake system malfunction indicator symbol.
Lights and instruments
2020-02-14 · campaign 2020-062 · 488 vehicles
Issue:
On certain vehicles, if the hazard lights are switched on while the ignition is off, the lights on some interior switches may not work. When the ignition and lights are turned on, the lights on the switches may stay off. Canadian regulations require certain switches to light up when the ignition is on and the lights are switched on. Note: If the hazard lights are switched off, then the ignition is cycled to off - and back on again - the switch lights should work properly.
Safety Risk:
While there is a low risk to safety, lighting of important switches is required by Canadian regulations.
Corrective Actions:
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the instrument cluster software.

Corrective Action:
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the driver-front airbag module, as required.
