Electrical System · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The high-voltage battery monitoring system software may not alert the driver of a battery malfunction. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 305, "electric-powered vehicles: electrolyte spillage and electrical shock protection."
Why it matters: A high-voltage battery monitoring system that does not alert the driver of a battery malfunction may increase the risk of an injury.
The fix: Dealers will update the battery management system software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning August 18, 2023.
