Recalls

Communication Vehicle recall #20V227000 · 2020 · 149 vehicles
What's wrong: Mercedes-benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2020 amg gt vehicles. The emergency call system (ecall) communication module May be missing the wiring harness ground line, which May cause the system to relay an inaccurate vehicle location, and restrict the ability to communicate verbally with the call center.
Why it matters: An inaccurate vehicle location or the inability to communicate with the call center May delay emergency responders, increasing the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will repair the wiring harness of the communication module, free of charge. The recall began July 2, 2020.
Exterior lights Vehicle recall #20V775000 · 2020 · 9 vehicles
What's wrong: The headlights May have been incorrectly aimed too high. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamp, reflective devices and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Incorrectly aimed headlights can reduce the visibility of oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will check the headlight aim, and correct it, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 20, 2021.
Communication, Electrical Vehicle recall #21V058000 · 2021 · 1,292,258 vehicles
What's wrong: Please refer to the part 573 report for specific vehicle model details. The software design of the communication module May fail to communicate the correct vehicle location for the emergency call system (ecall) in the event of a crash.
Why it matters: Failure of the ecall system May result in emergency responders being dispatched to the wrong location, increasing the risk of injury following a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and the communication module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (ota) update, free of charge. The recall began March 12, 2021.
Communication, Electrical Vehicle recall #22V365000 · 2022 · 242,722 vehicles
What's wrong: Please refer to mbusa's recall report for specific vehicle model details. An error in the communication module's sim card software can cause a mobile network connection failure, disabling the emergency call (ecall) system.
Why it matters: A disabled ecall system would prevent a vehicle occupant from contacting the emergency services call center in an emergency, potentially delaying emergency responders and increasing the risk of injury.
