What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain model year 2015 S550 Hybrid vehicles manufactured May 13, 2013 to April 22, 2015. In the affected vehicles, after driving in electric mode, the fuel pump output may be insufficient to restart the gasoline engine and the vehicle will stall.

Why it matters: A vehicle stall increases the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will update the fuel system control unit software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2015.
