Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled 1983 vehicles across eight model lines due to a manufacturing fault that could result in a vehicle fire.
Affected vehicles include Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, SL, CLE, EQE, EQS and AMG GTs models built between 2023 and 2024.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, vehicle management systems connected to the fuse box may fail. If this occurs, it may lead to a sudden loss of motive power and/or a vehicle fire,” the manufacturer said in its recall notice.
“A sudden loss of motive power whilst driving and/or a vehicle fire could increase the potential risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders and/or damage to property.”
If you own an affected Mercedes-Benz model, you can contact your preferred authorised dealer to have the vehicle’s fuse box replaced, free of charge.
If you have any further questions about the recall, you can call the company’s customer assistance centre on 1300 762 718.
