NHTSA recall 19V586000
Electrical System · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. (mbusa) is recalling certain 2018-2019 C300, C300 4matic, and c43 amg 4matic vehicles. The mounting bracket for the 12-volt battery may not be secured. This may allow the battery to shift, possibly disconnecting the terminals in the event of a crash.
Why it matters: Loss of power from the battery can impair post-crash functions, such as communicating with emergency services and activating hazard lights. The battery may also detach and become a road hazard. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the battery mounting bracket, free of charge. The recall began October 18, 2019.
