NHTSA recall 25V830000
Back Over Prevention · Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The external pedestrian warning sound may not continuously increase in volume as vehicle speed increases, due to a software error. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "minimum sound requirements for hybrid electric vehicles."
Why it matters: Insufficient pedestrian warning sounds may fail to alert pedestrians of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the acoustic vehicle alerting system (avas) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 12, 2026.
