What's wrong: The mbux infotainment system might allow activation of the television and internet display while driving, causing a distraction for the driver.

Why it matters: Driver distraction can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa has updated their computer server to correct the issue for most vehicles, free of charge. For vehicles that were not able to be updated remotely, dealers will provide the software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 25, 2022.
