Details

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.
