What happened

Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling certain 2016 through 2021 model year vehicles across multiple classes, including the CLA-Class, GLA-Class, GLE-Class, GLS-Class, SLC-Class, A-Class, GT-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CLS-Class, SL-Class, B-Class, GLB-Class, GLC-Class, and G-Class. A software defect in the communication module may cause the eCall emergency system to send emergency responders to an incorrect vehicle location following a crash, potentially delaying response and increasing the risk of injury.

MBUSA will update the affected vehicles' communication module software at no charge, either through a dealer service appointment or via over-the-air update. Owners can contact MBUSA customer service at 1-877-762-8267 for more information about the recall, which began March 12, 2021, and can reference recall number 2021020025.
