NHTSA recall 22V678000
Electrical System · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Moisture accumulation in the trunk may leak into the signal acquisition module (sam), causing an electrical short circuit.
Why it matters: An electrical short circuit in the sam could lead to various malfunctions, such as rear exterior lighting failure, unintentional rear seat folding, and rearview camera failure, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. In addition, an electrical short circuit might increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a cover for the sam, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 2, 2022.
