Mercedes-Benz is recalling 443 vehicles that received an incorrect fuse box during a previous recall. The defect may cause loss of drive power, safety functions, or fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (electrical system) that explicitly cites an increased risk of fire and loss of critical safety functions, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC is recalling certain 2023-2024 C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, SL, GLC, EQE SUV, EQE, EQS SUV, and EQS vehicles. These vehicles were incorrectly repaired under a previous recall (24V-115) and may have been installed with a fuse box not designed for the specific vehicle.

An incorrect fuse box can result in a sudden loss of drive power or a loss of critical safety functions, such as restraint systems or the instrument cluster, which increases the risk of a crash or injury. Additionally, the defect could increase the risk of a fire.

Dealers will inspect and replace the main fuse boxes free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 6, 2025. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236.
